You can make checking your bluetooth headset battery super easy by adding the batteries widget to your iPhone. This widget lets you see the battery life of your iPhone, airpods, and other Bluetooth devices in one spot. Here’s how you can add the batteries widget to your Home or Today View:
Go to your Today View by swiping right on your iPhone’s Home Screen.

Tap the + sign at the top left corner.
Scroll down to find Batteries or type it into the search bar.

Tip: If you use airpods or another Bluetooth headset, make sure they are connected to your iPhone before you check the batteries widget. This way, you will see the most accurate battery life.
Once you add the batteries widget, you can see the battery life for your iPhone, airpods, and any connected Bluetooth device. The batteries widget updates in real time. If you use airpods, you will see each earbud’s battery percentage and the case battery too. If you use a Bluetooth headset, the widget shows the bluetooth headset battery right next to your iPhone’s battery.
You do not need to open any app or dig through menus. Just swipe to your Home or Today View. The batteries widget will show you the battery life for all your devices. This makes it easy to keep track of your airpods and bluetooth headset battery before you leave the house or start a workout.
Note: Sometimes, the batteries widget may not show your bluetooth headset battery if the device is not connected or does not support battery reporting. Try reconnecting your airpods or Bluetooth headset if you do not see the battery percentage.
Not every iPhone or iOS version supports the batteries widget. If you use an older iPhone or an older version of iOS, you might not see the batteries widget at all. For example, users with iPhone 5S or iPhone 6S running iOS 9.1 or earlier cannot use the batteries widget to check bluetooth headset battery or airpods battery. The table below shows some common devices and iOS versions that do not support the batteries widget:
User Comment | iOS Version | Device |
|---|---|---|
'I have a 5S and tried this, no Batteries widget seems to exist.' | N/A | 5S |
'Running iOS 9.1 on a 5s. Can’t see a battery widget anywhere...' | 9.1 | 5S |
'I have 6s with IOS 9.1. there is NO battery widget!' | 9.1 | 6S |
'Same – I have a Belkin keyboard connected to my iPad on iOS 8.4.1.' | 8.4.1 | iPad |
If you use iOS 11, iOS 12, or any later version, you should see the batteries widget on your iPhone. You can check your bluetooth headset battery, airpods battery, and iPhone battery life all in one place. If you do not see the widget, try updating your iPhone to the latest iOS version.
If you use airpods or a Bluetooth headset, always keep your iPhone updated. This helps you get the best features, like the batteries widget, and makes checking your bluetooth headset battery quick and easy.
You can use the settings app to see bluetooth battery status on your iphone. Here is how you can do it: First, swipe down from the top of your screen. Next, tap the Today tab. Then, scroll up and tap Edit. Add Batteries to your Today Widget by tapping the green plus button. Tap Done when you finish. Turn on your paired Bluetooth device. You will see its bluetooth battery status under Today. This way works well if you want to check your bluetooth headphone battery or other accessories. Make sure your device is connected before you check.
You can also look at battery life in Control Center and ios notification center. Try these steps: On iphones with Face ID, swipe down from the top-right corner. On older iphones, swipe up from the bottom. If your AirPods are connected, tap the headphone icon in Now Playing to see the battery charge. Some wireless headphones show a vertical battery gauge next to the headphone icon. This lets you quickly check battery life. You can also see devices like Apple Watch and Bluetooth keyboards here. Not all third-party accessories support this feature, so some may not show up.
Siri can help you check bluetooth battery status fast. Just say, “What’s the battery level of my headphones?” Siri will tell you the battery percentage if your device supports it. If you do not get an answer, make sure your headphones are connected. Restarting Bluetooth or your iphone can fix small problems.
Some third-party apps give you more details about bluetooth battery status. Apps like Battery Life show the battery charge level for connected devices. Remember, these apps may not be as accurate as the settings app or built-in features. They can use more battery and sometimes need extra permissions.
Tip: Native iphone tools like Find My give you real-time updates on current battery charge and are safer to use.

Check your device manual for compatibility. If the Batteries widget does not show levels, reset the widget or re-pair your device. Common reasons for missing battery info are compatibility issues, pairing errors, or old software. If you still cannot check battery status, your device may not support this feature.
