How to Display iPhone Battery Percentage on Lock Screen in iOS 16

Since Apple adopted the notch design for iPhone, users are not able to see the exact battery percentage of their device in the status bar. While the older iPhones with Home Button still have the option to display battery percentage, the new iPhones with Face ID don’t get such an option. With iOS 14, Apple introduced Home Screen widget support, which solved this issue to a degree. But you still had to unlock the iPhone and go to Home Screen to check the battery percentage. With Lock Screen widgets on iOS 16, that’s no longer an issue. Here is how you can display the iPhone battery percentage on the Lock Screen in iOS 16.
