Realme: Show or Hide Battery Percentage in the Status Bar

Guessing how much charge is left from a shrinking battery icon gets annoying fast, especially before a long day out. Realme UI lets you replace that guesswork with an exact number, but the option sits inside the notification settings and is easy to overlook. You can also turn the percentage off again if you prefer a cleaner status bar.

Show or Hide Battery Percentage auf Realme

The battery icon in the status bar only gives a rough visual cue about remaining charge. Realme UI can add a precise percentage value next to or inside that icon so you always know how much power is left without opening the notification shade.

This display option is controlled through the notification and status bar settings, not through the battery menu itself. That is why many users never find it: they look for a battery percentage toggle under power management, but the setting actually lives one level away, tied to how the status bar renders icons.

To turn it on, open Tap on SettingsTap on Notifications & status barTap on Show Battery Percentage on Status BarChoose Inside the Battery Icon, Outside the Battery Icon or Do Not Display.

Inside the Battery Icon places the number directly over the icon shape, which keeps the status bar compact but can be harder to read at a glance. Outside the Battery Icon shows the percentage as a separate number next to the icon, which is easier to see but takes a bit more space. Do Not Display removes the number entirely and falls back to the plain icon.

If your status bar already feels crowded with network, signal, and notification icons, Do Not Display keeps things minimal. If you rely on exact charge levels for planning charging breaks, Outside the Battery Icon is usually the more practical choice.
