Viewing the Battery Status
As you can see in the screenshot of my iPhone home screen below. The batteries widget shows the battery percentage of my iPhone and the Bluetooth headset connected to it.
I do not use an Apple Watch, Mac, or iPad. So, the widget is only showing the battery details of the headphone and the iPhone itself. While I have a Mi Band 4 running in sync with the iPhone, it’s battery status is not showing in the wizard. Apparently, the widget only supports the Apple Watch battery status.
How simple was that? Since most people use their iPhones a lot, so through this widget they can keep track of the battery percentage of other Apple products they have. I hope this guide was useful. Try it out and enjoy the new iOS 16.
