Instructions to change the detailed battery capacity widget on iOS 14

If your iPhone is running on iOS 14, you should see a default battery capacity widget in the Today View area, the leftmost screen on the home screen. Maybe many users are satisfied with this widget, but also many people will prefer a larger widget, which accurately displays the battery percentage.

Switching to a larger, more detailed widget on iOS 14 involves 2 steps, that is to remove the old default widget and install the new version of the widget.

First, from the home screen, swipe right all the way to the Today View page, then tap the Edit button at the bottom of the screen (or press and hold anywhere in Today View) to start editing.
