# Android may get some features like iOS battery health indicator and more

[Android](https://www.mindstick.com/category/article/android-apps) is finally stepping up its battery game by adopting a beloved iPhone feature: a dedicated battery health indicator. Currently hidden in **Android 14 Beta 2**, this long-awaited addition promises deeper insights into your phone's battery life and empowers you to track its health.

## Key Highlights:

- **Visible Battery Health:** Say goodbye to [third-party apps](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12498/how-to-access-user-data-from-third-party-apps-on-android)! Android will soon display your battery's remaining health percentage, similar to iPhones.
- **Projected Performance:** Go beyond basic indicators. The feature may offer a "**projected percentage**," giving you a glimpse into future battery life.
- **More Control, Less Guessing:** Know the facts before repair. Accessing battery cycle count and [manufacturing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167329/improving-productivity-within-the-manufacturing-industry) date directly in Settings simplifies DIY fixes.

## Detailed [News](https://www.mindstick.com/developersection/news):

**Under the Hood:** While currently hidden, the "battery health" section in **Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2** hints at exciting possibilities. While a dedicated gauge is missing, the code suggests detailed information like "projected percentage" could be on the horizon.

**Beyond Warnings:** Google is taking [battery management](https://www.mindstick.com/news/3382/here-are-all-the-new-features-of-android-14-that-you-should-be-aware-of-as-it-launches-today) seriously.
