Apple developers released a new test build of iOS 16 on August 8, in which they added a long-awaited feature.

What we know

The system came out with the build number iOS 16 Beta 5. In the firmware appeared the ability to turn on the percentage of battery charge in the status bar of the iPhone. Previously, to find out the exact battery charge it was necessary to open the control center. To activate the new feature it is necessary to go into the battery settings. 

By the way, judging from online reviews, this feature is not available to users iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 11 and iPhone XR. It seems to be all because of the small amount of space between the notch and the side of the devices.
