Quick how to: Add battery percentage to your battery icon

[cane prevost1]

If you've ever wanted to see the battery percentage remaining on your battery icon here's a quick way to get it without having to download any new software:
1. Swipe down to reveal your control center. Tap to open it. Find the gear icon and press and hold for about 5 seconds.
2. When you release you should see a popup that says that System UI tuner is enabled.
3. Go to your settings and scroll to the bottom. You will now find System UI tuner.
4. Open UI tuner and flip the switch for "Show embedded battery percentage" to on.
5. Profit.

I've also added an app to help me see the percentages better for my aging eyes. Battery HD.

It is the simple things like this that make me appreciate ANDROID more than any other system.

I've been using this feature since I got the 6P. My only gripe is that the battery icon should be horizontal to make it easier to see the percentage.
