Fix Battery Percentage Not Showing on iPhone 2019 Guide
Tip 1. Check the Settings on the iPhone
Before you think your device is damaged, it could simply be that you have set the battery percentage to off in settings and therefore you are unable to see the battery status. Follow these simple steps to check;
Step 1: Open the settings app on your iPhone and then tap on “General.”
Step 2: Tap on “Usage” and then check under “Battery Percentage.” If it is set to “OFF” move the slider to change it.
Tip 2. Remove “Batteries” from Settings and Re-add it
If it is turned on under “Settings” and you still don’t see the battery percentage, try the following;
Step 1: Swipe right to left to access the Lock Screen.
Step 2: Scroll to the bottom to tap “Edit.”
Step 3: Tap on the red “minus” icon to the left of the batteries widget and then tap “Remove.” Tap on “Done.”
Step 4: Go back to the Lock screen again and tap on the “+” button next to the batteries icon to re-add it. Tap “Done.”
Step 5: Reboot the device and see if battery percentage shows up.
Tip 3. Reset the Customizes Features of the iPhone
If the above solutions still don’t work for you, you may want to reset all customized features. To do that, follow these simple steps;
Step 1: Open the settings app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Tap on General.
Step 3: Tap on “Reset.”
Step 4: Tap on Reset All Settings.
This will remove all your settings including wallpapers, accessibility settings, and stored Wi-Fi codes but will leave all your data intact.
Tip 4. Fix it with the Control Center
If the battery icon still doesn’t appear on your device, you can try to close the Control Center. Try opening and closing the Control Center several times to see if this fixes the problem.

How to maximize the reliability of Face ID on the iPhone X: 4 tips
So here’s a few tips that I’ve either discovered myself, or seen others suggest.
Re-register your face
The first thing I’d suggest anyone try if they are experiencing issues with Face ID reliability is to re-register your face. From reports and comments, this seems to solve many issues.
Had loads of problems with Face ID, read this article, remembered you could reset it. Works an absolute treat now, just how it’s supposed to. Thanks!
If you sometimes wear glasses, sometimes not, there are anecdotal reports that it’s best to scan your face while wearing glasses.
Some have also suggested doing the initial scans in the dark. As it’s infrared, I can’t see how light or dark would make any difference, but since it scans perfectly in the dark there’s certainly no harm in trying it.
Switch off Requires Attention if that’s no risk for you
One of the security features Face ID offers by default is that you need to be looking at the phone. This is to prevent someone using your face to unlock your phone while you’re asleep or distracted.
However, it does increase the chances of failure, as the iPhone needs to be able to clearly see your eyes – which can sometimes be an issue for those who wear glasses or sunglasses.
For many of us, there is no real prospect of anyone unlocking our phone while we’re sleeping, so toggling off this feature may be worthwhile. You can do this in Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Require Attention for Face ID.
Move your phone while unlocking
As Face ID uses 3D data, moving your phone during the scan is likely to help. After an acquaintance noted he was finding it less reliable than me, we compared what we were doing. He held the phone still, while I typically swiped up while still lifting the phone, so that may be one reason it’s so reliable for me.
Experiment with distance
Several people have commented that distance seems to matter. It can fail if the phone is held too far away, but it seems more likely to fail if you hold it too close.
The biggest [variable] I’ve seen mentioned is the distance from your face. Which solved about 95% of the failed attempts I have as it was too close.
I’m 6’2 and Face ID doesn’t work at arms length.
If you accidentally deleted or lost videos on iPhone, first please check on the Recently Deleted folder. Alternatively, you can use the professional tool Gihosoft iPhone Recovery to recover deleted iPhone videos from Camera Roll or some apps.
I’ve experienced this myself, when picking up my phone when I wake, before I’ve put contacts in. Moving the phone further away solves the issue.
If you’ve been having issues with Face ID, do try these things and report back on whether they helped. And if you have additional tips, please share them in the comments.
