Windows 11 will soon feature an improved battery icon designed to give you information at a glance. The new icon will change color depending on how much charge is left on your PC and have the option to show a battery percentage. Simplified overlays for the icon are placed in a way that does not block the progress bar, which is a welcome change as well.
The improved battery icon brings Windows 11 more in line with Android, iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, all of which already have the option to show battery percentage. We first covered the improved battery icon when it was a hidden feature within Windows 11 that had to be enabled through a third-party tool called ViveTool. Now, Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel can use the new icon without having to use a third-party tool.
