If your vivo S50 is not showing the battery percentage in the status bar, it can be frustrating. You only see the battery icon, but you have no clear idea how much power is actually left. In most cases, this is simply a settings issue, and you can bring the percentage back in less than a minute.
Why Your vivo S50 Is Not Showing Battery Percentage
- The battery percentage option is turned off in the status bar settings.
- The display mode is set to show only the battery icon.
- A recent update reset certain interface settings.
- Power saving mode changed how the battery indicator appears.
- A temporary system glitch affected the status bar display.
Make Sure Battery Percentage Is Enabled
The battery percentage does not appear automatically on some devices. You need to manually enable it from the settings menu so the number shows beside the battery icon.
- Open Settings, and then tap Notifications and status bar.
- Tap Battery percentage, and then select Show battery percentage.
Lock your phone and unlock it again to confirm the percentage is now visible.
Check the Status Bar Display Settings
Some themes or display layouts may hide the battery percentage. Adjusting the status bar settings ensures the number appears clearly in the top corner.
- Open Settings, and then tap Display and brightness.
- Scroll down and tap Status bar, and then look for battery display options.
Select the option that shows both the battery icon and percentage.
Disable Power Saving Mode
Power saving mode can sometimes simplify the status bar layout. Turning it off helps restore the full battery indicator.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Power saving mode, and then switch it off.
After disabling it, check if the percentage appears again.
Restart Your vivo S50
A quick restart refreshes the system interface. If a minor glitch is hiding the battery percentage, this often fixes it immediately.
- Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
- Wait for the device to reboot, and then check the status bar.
The battery percentage should now be visible next to the icon.
Most battery percentage issues on the vivo S50 are caused by simple display settings. Once you enable the correct option or refresh the system, the percentage should remain visible at all times.
