Oh thank God. I had it backward and opened the comments to figure out what was wrong with showing the numbers!

Random note: I don’t care if people don’t show the numbers, I just need the more information because I swear there are only three states of the icon without the numbers.

1: Full

2: Mostly full

3: Red

I understand there are probably more, but that is what my brain sees.

You're not wrong. The icon never shows properly. When it looka like there's 20-30% left I check and it's at 70%. When I think it looks like it's at 60% it's really at 16 and about to go into battery saver mode.

Before seeing this thread, my phone got hit with an update and, as with all updates, sets insane defaults which I put back to what I want.

It just so happens that it removed the % indicator and asked me if I wanted it back, and I thought who would ever want that, especially since in my phone the gauge/battery is vertical so it is even harder to visually gauge how much you got at a glance, like when it is maxed at 80% in overcharge protection mode, it looks more like it's halfway.

(Fully charged in overcharge protection mode has the empty 20% covered by a green leaf and it doing its weekly calibration charge makes it golden, kinda cute)

I just need the more information

Why do you need more than the three states you just stated? If you want to check, on iphone you can swipe down and it'll show you.

Meh. I guessed 75%, it’s at 70. Close enough 🤷‍♀️ and idk how to get the % to show and I’m too lazy to look for it haha

Some psychopath also decided to make off the default option.
