As a regular AirPods user, I have personally found the Battery widget on iOS 13 as one of the most helpful features. Although, when I suddenly switched to the iOS 14, the battery widget seemed to have become compact and straightforward. There was no battery charge indicator for other devices connected. If you have started thinking that Apple has made things much complex, no, they haven’t. I don’t even have to go to the widget screen every time I want to check my AirPods battery anymore. Here is how I added the AirPods battery status widget on my iPhone home screen without much confusion.

Voila, you are ready to go. You can now see the AirPods battery status right from the Home Screen of your iPhone.

For example, the smart stack can show you the Reminder widget when there is an upcoming meeting or reminder for you. You can also scroll between the widgets on the smart stack, without taking extra space on your iPhone home screen. See how to add a smart stack widget on iOS 14.
