Check battery level on your Pixel phone

You can see how much battery your phone has left. When it's charging, you can see how long until your battery will be fully charged.

Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 9.0 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.

The Pixel battery continuously learns your behaviors and optimizes itself based on your most recent app usage. When you set up a new device or after a factory reset, optimization may take up a few weeks to take full effect. For best results keep Adaptive Battery and Battery Optimization on.

It's normal for your Pixel battery to drain a little more than usual after a software update. This is because the phone is working hard to download and optimize the new software and get everything up and running.

If you still experience unusual battery drain after a few days, please let us know and we'll be happy to help.
