That’s interesting, I have never had anxiety about my phone battery. I have moderate annoyance if completely runs out and shuts off. Usually I try to keep it above 3% lol. I use the number like, “ok I have 40% so that’s like 6 hours”; but if people stress out about it, I could see the number being triggering.
I used to worry if it were at X percent at Y time. But the truth is my phone lasts all day 99% of the time so what’s the point of worrying? So I have it off. All I need to know is roughly how much power it has, if it dips below 20% it warns me and I turn on low power and there’s still enough power for up to a few hours.
The number of people that have it on surprises me.
I’m reminded of the 24 hour news channels who love to put ultra detailed timing. If there is a press conference at 9pm they don’t just say it’s at 9pm, at noon they’ll start a 9 hour countdown.
So if you watch the news at any point that day you’ll know it’s 8:43:22 until the press conference. It’s 6:12:43 until the press conference. It’s 5:24:46 until the press conference.
Those numbers don’t mean anything.
When I started writing this comment I had 92% battery left. Now I have 91% battery left. If I ramble for too long what if it goes to 90%? At the rate it’s dropping am I going to have less than two hours of battery life left? Where is my charger?!?!
Or, I can just look at the list mostly full icon. I’m good.
Brother, my phone is almost never charged higher than 70%. I need the number to differentiate between 6% and 2%. I don’t even think about my battery until the battery saver mode prompt.
Without numbers, 30 and 40 are indistinguishable. Is it time to go find a charger yet?
The difference between 21 vs 20, or 16 and 15, or 6 vs 5 is pretty big. Especially when people have battery saving features kick on at a specific percentage.
Never turned it on after the last reset. I have less anxiety about it now.

I have ten times more anxiety without the number lmao
