Huawei: Show Battery Percentage in Status Bar

If your status bar only shows a plain battery icon with no numbers, you are left guessing how much charge your Huawei phone has left. EMUI hides the exact battery percentage by default and only displays a rough fill level. Turning this option on replaces the guesswork with a precise readout right in the status bar.

Show Battery Percentage auf Huawei

By default, EMUI only draws a battery icon in the status bar and leaves you to estimate the remaining charge from its fill level. The exact percentage is hidden behind a separate toggle, which is why many users only notice a rough shape instead of a number.

You can switch this display in the battery settings. Open Open the settingsTap on BatteryTap on Battery percentageChoose between Do not show, Next to battery icon or Inside battery icon.

Choosing Next to battery icon adds a separate number beside the icon, which stays easy to read even at low charge levels. Choosing Inside battery icon places the digits directly inside the icon shape, saving space but making the number smaller on some screens.

This setting only changes what the status bar shows. It has no effect on actual power consumption, charging speed, or battery health.

If the percentage still does not appear after enabling it, check whether a custom launcher or a third-party status bar app is overriding the system display. In that case, disable the conflicting app or reset its notification and display permissions.

Frequently asked questions

System updates sometimes reset display preferences to their defaults. Open Open the settingsTap on BatteryTap on Battery percentage and select Next to battery icon or Inside battery icon again.
