Tap to turn the Battery Percentage switch ON.When the switch turns green or highlighted, it means that the feature is enabled.
That said, you should already see the battery percentage inside the battery control on the status bar or Control Center of your iOS device.To turn this feature OFF, just repeat the same steps to head back to the Battery settings menu then toggle to turn the Battery percentage switch OFF to disable the feature.
