Keep in mind: the device must support battery reporting over Bluetooth\u2014if it doesn\u2019t, iOS can\u2019t show its battery level. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### 1. Use the Batteries Widget  \nThe easiest and most reliable method:\n\n- Add the **Batteries widget** to your *Home Screen*, *Lock Screen*, or *Today View*. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/12/09/how-to-see-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-iphone-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The widget will display the battery level of your iPhone plus any connected Bluetooth accessories (like AirPods, Beats, keyboards, etc.) that support battery-level reporting. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If you have more than one device, the widget may default to showing one (for instance, your iPhone or a particular accessory). You can tap and hold the widget to *customize* which device\u2019s battery gets displayed. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/09/15/how-to-customize-lock-screen-battery-widget-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 2. Check from the Settings App  \n- Go to **Settings \u2192 Bluetooth**.  \n- Find your connected device in the list. If it supports battery reporting, tapping the **\u201ci\u201d** next to its name should show its battery level. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 3. Ask Siri  \nYou can simply say something like:  \n> \u201cHey Siri, what\u2019s the battery level of my AirPods?\u201d  \n\nIf the accessory supports battery reporting, Siri will tell you. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/12/09/how-to-see-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-iphone-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### 4. Check in Control Center / Now Playing Controls  \nFor some audio accessories, when you open Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner on Face ID devices), battery info might show near the headphone icon or in the Now Playing card. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/12/09/how-to-see-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-iphone-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### What If It\u2019s Not Showing Up? Troubleshooting\n\n- Ensure Bluetooth is ON and the device is *actively connected* (not just paired). ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The accessory itself must support reporting its battery level via Bluetooth\u2014older or cheaper devices may not support this. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Sometimes, the widget may not update properly until the accessory is woken up or in use. ([itechguides.com](https://www.itechguides.com/how-to-see-the-battery-level-of-bluetooth-devices-on-iphone-and-ipad/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me what kind of Bluetooth device you\u2019re using (AirPods? wireless speaker? non-Apple brand?), I can give you more precise instructions for your particular case."

Here\u2019s how to lock it to a specific one:\n\n1. While still in Lock Screen edit mode, tap on the Batteries widget itself. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/09/15/how-to-customize-lock-screen-battery-widget-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. If it has configuration options, toggle **Automatic** off. ([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/09/15/how-to-customize-lock-screen-battery-widget-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n3.

([idownloadblog.com](https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/09/15/how-to-customize-lock-screen-battery-widget-iphone/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f If You Don\u2019t See the Widget or Device Options\n\n- Make sure your Bluetooth accessory is *currently connected*\u2014if it\u2019s not, the device may not show up as an option.  \n- Check under **Settings \u2192 Face ID & Passcode** (*or Touch ID & Passcode*) \u2192 **Allow Access When Locked \u2192 Lock Screen Widgets**. If that\u2019s off, the widget might not appear when locked. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1ubmte0/ios_27_db1_standby_mode_not_showing_data_in/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the widget itself or the tap-to-configure option doesn\u2019t appear, your accessory may not support battery reporting.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which accessory you\u2019re trying to show (e.g. AirPods, Beats, Apple Watch, or a non-Apple brand), I can help verify whether it supports showing battery status via widget or suggest workarounds if it doesn\u2019t."
