Similar to iPhones, when the battery on an Android device starts to degrade, users will be able to check in their settings the remaining health percentage of the battery. As of now, users have to rely on third-party apps to see their smartphone's battery health. Recent reports suggest that the iPhone feature on Android will be available soon.
Here is everything you should know about the iPhone battery feature on Android smartphones. Read till the end to know about the brand-new feature that Android is working on and stay informed with the latest details.
Android Phones Battery Feature: Details
The Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 is equipped with a concealed "battery health" section. While it currently does not have a dedicated battery health gauge, the code states it may display details such as projected percentage.
Google is paying a little extra attention to battery features on Android smartphones. The most recent Pixel feature drop has another battery feature that allows users to check the manufacturing date of the battery and the cycle count.
For those who are unaware, the battery cycle count indicates the number of complete charge and discharge cycles a rechargeable battery can undergo before its capacity ends.
This may sound like a basic feature, but with self-repair becoming common, finally getting access to battery health features from the settings will make the process easier to track battery repairs. It is important to note that the Settings page displaying battery health is inactive right now.
It's not the first time that Google has tried to build the battery health feature on Android devices. In October 2022, Google made a comparable effort with Android 13, trying to include a distinct section on Pixel phones fixed on solving battery health concerns.
However, the feature was never tested. One should stay alert to know the latest announcements about the new feature.
