In the past few years, developers have introduced a range of apps that allow users to personalize their devices in innovative ways. One of the most popular methods for customizing smartphones is changing their appearance and visual style. With so many different options available, there are plenty of ways to give your iPhone a new look. But one area that remains fairly limited is changing the color of the battery indicator. The standard iPhone comes with green battery icons throughout the operating system. You can test this by going to Settings > General > Usage & Storage and viewing the battery usage stats or by going to Settings > Battery and checking the % charge. While some have already found ways around this limitation, such as hiding it with an app or covering it with a sticker, others may not be so lucky. So in case you’re reading this article because you want to know how you can change that battery color on your iPhone, we’ve got you covered!
How To Change The Battery Color On iPhone
Change the Color of the Battery Indicator on iPhone X
If you’re using an iPhone X, you’ll want to open up the Settings app and navigate to General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations. From there, tap on the switch next to “battery indicator” and select the “Green” option. You’ll be able to choose between “Light”, which is the standard color, and “Green”, which is a lighter shade of green. If you’d like to go further, you can also enable the “show percentage” toggle. This will allow you to view the exact percentage of battery life remaining, rather than just a red bar. The iPhone X also has a small amount of built-in support for colorblindness, so you can also enable the “show hue” toggle if you’d like to view the battery indicators in a different color for a small amount of time as your eyes adjust.
Change the Color of the Battery Indicator on iPhone 8 and 7
There’s no built-in way to change the color of the battery indicator on an iPhone 8 or 7, but you can use a third-party app named battery. The app costs $1.99 and is available on the App Store. Once installed, open the app and slide the toggle to “on”. This will change the color of the battery indicator and the battery icon. If you’re using an iPhone 7, you can also enable the “low power mode” toggle. This will change the color of the battery indicator to red when your battery is low. It’s a helpful feature for those who don’t like the visual indicator. It can be activated by going to Settings > Battery and toggling the “low power mode” switch.
Change the Color of the Battery Indicator on iPhone 6 and Earlier
Unfortunately, iPhones that are older than the iPhone X don’t have an accessible battery indicator. If you’re using an iPhone 6 or earlier, you won’t be able to change the battery indicator color in the Settings app. You’ll have to install a jailbroken device and use an iOS script to change the color, or use an app similar to BatteryLife or Darker dungeon to change the color. If you have a jailbroken device, you can use an iOS script to change the color or write your own script. To do this, open the app “SSH” and connect to your device via SSH. Then, write the following command and press enter: “defaults write com.apple.UIStatusBar BatteryIndicatorBadgeApproved -int yes”. Your battery indicator will turn green, and you can change it back to red by writing “defaults write com.apple.UIStatusBar BatteryIndicatorBadgeApproved -int no”.
Using BatteryLife to Change Your iPhone’s Battery Color
If you want to change the color of the battery indicator on your iPhone, you can use the free app battery life. The app is available on the App Store and is compatible with all iPhone models. Once installed, go to the menu and select “Settings”. From there, choose “Battery indicator” and select “Color”. You can pick between “Green” and “Red”. If you’d also like to change the color of the low battery indicator, you can also select “Red” and change the “Low power indicator” option to read. You can also change the brightness of the battery indicator in the “Settings” section of the app. From there, selecting “Brightness” will let you set the brightness of the battery indicator manually.
Using Darker dungeon to Change your iPhone’s battery color
If you want to use an app to change the color of your iPhone’s battery, you can download the free app Darker dungeon. The app is available on the App Store and is compatible with all iPhone models. Once installed, open the app and select “Battery”. You can change the color to red, green, yellow, or blue. If you’d like to change the color of the low battery indicator, select “Low battery indicator” and choose between red and green. You can also change the brightness of the battery indicator in the “Settings” section of the app. From there, selecting “Brightness” will let you set the brightness of the battery indicator manually.
Using an iOS Script to Change the Colour of Your iPhone’s Battery Indicator
If you’re looking for a more custom solution to change your iPhone’s battery indicator, or if you don’t like the features offered by apps, you can write an iOS script to do so. You’ll need to have a jailbroken device and be familiar with the iOS coding language, but if you’re comfortable with those conditions, it’s a great way to customize your device. The script you’ll need to write will depend on what color you want the battery indicator to be.
