4 ways to change iPhone Battery Color

If you’re like me, you probably want to add your own little personal touches to your phone. I’ve always liked the idea of having different colors on my battery indicator. The power icon on your iPhone gives you an idea of how much charge you still have left in your phone and when you should charge it again. You might want to change the color of the battery icon from white to green, red, yellow, or orange, etc. so that it fits better with your iPhone’s theme and visual style. Also, the colors can give you an idea of how much power is left in your device.

However, the standard iPhone battery indicator color is white normally, with red indicating that the charge is very low, yellow indicating that the device is in low power mode, and green indicating that the device has enough power or is charging. But the question that arises is, can you really change it to any shade you want?

Can I change battery color on iPhone?

Yes! It is possible. If you really want to change the color of your iPhone’s battery icon, there are many ways to do so. While there is no way to change the color of your actual battery, here are some methods to show you how to change the shade of the power icon on your iPhone using the iPhone settings and Cydia tweaks. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, so each one is best suited for different people and situations.

Method#1 Using iPhone Settings:

Firstly go to iPhone Settings > General > Battery> Toggle on battery percentage and you’ll see a new line in your status bar that shows how much juice is left in addition to that little lightning bolt. With iOS 15, however, things get even better. The same page will show you how much battery your smartphone’s apps are using.

Now, turn on the Low power mode using the toggle; your battery icon will turn yellow after you do so. On your iPhone without using any app, this is the sole way to change the color of the battery indicator.

Method#2 Using the third-party app:

The second method of changing your battery indicator color is one that involves using the software. There are many third-party applications out there that can do everything from customizing your lock screen to replacing your keyboard. The only downtime is that you need to jailbreak your phone to edit power indicator colors through these methods.

One of those apps is ColorMyBattery, a free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Kiran Patil.

On iOS 11 and later jailbroken versions, you can customize this amazing tweak to trick your iPhone in a creative way, such as altering the visuals, like changing the iPhone battery icon color. It is available for free from Cydia in its default form (with some premium features available via in-app purchase).

With ColorMyBattery, you can not only pick any shade for your iPhone power indicator, but also you can change the shape or form of icons. So let’s get started:

There are several steps that need to be followed in order for you to use ColorMyBattery on your iPhone to get the desired task done.

Firstly, we will see how to install the ColorMyBattery app on your iOS device. To install it, you need to add the BigBossCydia repo from .[http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/] on Cydia, which offers its services without any cost.

Have some fun with different shades of colors like green, orange, and red by customizing the icon with each color to show you the remaining battery percentage by color rather than a numeric percentage. Further, ColorMyBattery’s premium version allows you to pick the phone’s body color as well as the bolt color. It also allows you to set up 5-percent color intervals rather than 10-percent color intervals.

Method#3 Using Smoothbattery Cydia tweak

All these features make it stand out from other similar apps, but you will have to pay after the 14-day trial period expires. Still, if you’re looking for an easy way to change your power icon, then SmoothBattery Tweak is the best choice among all other similar apps.
