Seeing the exact battery percentage helps you manage power more efficiently. But sometimes, your OnePlus 13 might only show the battery icon without the actual percentage. This can happen because of display settings, themes, or recent software updates.
If that’s the case, there are several ways to bring the percentage back to your status bar or Quick Settings area.
Why Your OnePlus 13 Battery Percentage Might Not Be Showing
- Battery percentage display is turned off in settings.
- A software glitch or recent update changed system preferences.
- Third-party themes or launchers are hiding system icons.
- Power Saving Mode may have temporarily altered display elements.
Enable Battery Percentage in Settings.
The most common reason for the missing percentage is that the option is disabled in system settings. Turning it back on usually solves the problem immediately.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications and status bar.
- Tap the switch next to Show battery percentage to enable it.
You should now see the remaining battery percentage inside or next to the icon on the status bar.
Check for Theme or Launcher Interference.
Custom themes or third-party launchers can modify your status bar, hiding the battery percentage. Switching back to the default theme helps determine if that’s the cause.
- Open Settings, and then tap Personalizations.
- Tap Themes, and then select Default to restore the original interface.
After switching back, check if the battery percentage is visible again.
Restart Your Phone.
Temporary glitches in the system UI can sometimes cause display elements to disappear. Restarting refreshes the interface and reinitializes the battery indicator.
- Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Quick Settings.
- Tap the Power icon, and then select Restart.
Once the device reboots, the percentage should appear again if it was a minor software hiccup.
Update OxygenOS.
Outdated system software or unfinished updates can lead to minor display bugs. Keeping OxygenOS updated ensures your phone’s features work properly.
- Open Settings, and then tap About device.
- Tap OxygenOS, and then check for available updates.
If an update is ready, download and install it, then restart your phone to apply the fix.
Reset System Settings.
If all else fails, resetting system settings can help restore any hidden or altered configurations that affect the battery indicator.
- Open Settings, and then tap Additional settings.
- Tap Back up and reset, and then tap Reset system settings only.
This will not delete personal data but will return system preferences, such as display and notification settings, to their defaults.
Once completed, the battery percentage should reappear on your OnePlus 13, giving you a more accurate view of your remaining power.
