How do I get the battery percentage to display on my Moto G?

Question

I have the newest Motorola phone and I can't figure out how to get the battery percentage to display. I have checked all the typical settings sections.

Answer 1

I have a Moto X so it might be different but I'm guessing it's the same. Worth a try anyway.



First you swipe down from the main screen to see the 'notifications screen'. At the very upper-left corner is an icon, and when you touch that you get a screen of controls. One of them is a battery icon with a percentage under it (mine says 67% now). That's the percentage of charge. If you touch the icon it will show you a chart of how charged the battery has been since the phone was last turned on, or last fully charged.



It might not work on your phone, in fact I bet you've already heard about and tried it. But if not, then try it.

Answer 2

It can be very useful to see your battery life in percentage terms instead of just the icon.



To enable this, go to Settings – My device – Display and tick Display battery percentage.

Answer 3

Settings - general - battery - check the show battery percentage
