Ravenstein Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 as mentioned here: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/how-to-check-iphone-battery-level-from-a-mac/ It is possible to check iPhone battery level via topbar WiFi symbol( even w/o iPhone to set hotspot), but I cannot get this with my Catalina 10.15.6, (no problem with AirDrop of Facetime, handoff) anyone succeed this? or I am missing any trick or tweak? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, hold option+click wifi symbol doesn't show up my iPhone in list. yours? (the list does show extensive info of my current WiFi) EDIT: Here my findings: In order to check iPhone battery% from macOS, It seems indeed iPhone hotspot doesn't need to set ON, but cellar mobile data needs to switch on(although iPhone still on WiFi), thus OPTION+WiFi(icon) would show up my iPhone in hotspot section=> then able to check its battery level. Strange! Why need mobile data ON while iPhone is on WiFi to Internet? AND just tested, it really used mobile data of 0.3kb! Yet the shown battery level of my iPhone is incorrect!
