The battery percentage indicator makes it easier to keep track of battery status and find out exactly how much juice is left in the tank. This means you're less likely to be surprised and don't have to run for the AC adapter at the eleventh hour. Surprisingly, macOS Monterey (just like macOS Big Sur) does not display battery percentage in the menu bar by default. However, you can choose to display the battery percentage on macOS Monterey to easily monitor battery charge. Let me show you how to enable this feature.
How to view battery percentage on macOS Monterey
Since the battery menu bar setting is located under System Preferences, many macOS users may not be aware that they can easily see the battery percentage in the menu bar. Some may even wonder if Apple has completely scrapped the feature in recent versions of macOS. Before we go any further, it's worth pointing out that the steps are the same for both macOS Monterey and Big Sur.
1. Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.
2. Then select Dock and menu bar.
