Bluetooth battery in status bar

[Atcy]

It would be great if the battery level of the bluetooth device you are currently connected within the bluetooth icon in the status bar (like many Android phones and iPhones do, see picture below). I realize there are ways to show the bluetooth level battery level like widgets or through the media output menu. But imo, having it in the status bar is just so much more convenient to monitor the battery of my devices. So at least the option to do that would be great!

Cheers!

I have recently shifted from OnePlus to Samsung.. And I regret it! I miss vertical scrolling, miss bluetooth indictor and all that...

Other phones only show status for headphones because earphones themselves do not have clear indicator. Watch shows battery level but earphones totally depend on phone for indicator.

It's possible to show the battery percentage of (samsung and non samsung) bluetooth devices by going to the bluetooth settings (see screeshot; to get there, e.g. tap the bluetooth quick setting tile). However (and this is the point of this thread), imo the battery percentage should be available at a glance like on other android devices and iphones.

Quick additional feedback on this an extra icon & the power % on the status bar, the icon can change based on connected item with battery info & could cycle through them as required: ear buds, watch, ring, tile, keyboard, mouse, joy pad, etc.

To save space it could optionally (by users choice) reuse the phones % and battery icon position, cycle an accessory power & icon next to it or allow extra battery indicators for all accessories to be shown, depending on size of the status bar & options selected.

My 5 year old OnePlus 7 Pro supported the BT battery indicator, even going red when the % falls below 30. My S24 doesn't so I'm regularly surprised when my Sony XM3 headphones remind me the battery is low via the audio notification.

I also changed changed to a Samsung s24, from an asus zenfone 6. I was so disappointed when I found out Samsung does not support this or even provide the option. Almost every other brand out there does. Like come on it's just a small thing to add... 

Let's see if they do something about it before I need a new phone, if they don't the next one won't be a Samsung again. If in 2+ years this can't even be added then it's easy to swap if just about every other brand does it.

Since One UI 6, it's possible to add the battery widget to the lock screen / AOD. Once Bluetooth headphones etc are connected it switches to show the battery of the headphones (see right most widget on Screenshot). This way, you have it at a glance at least on lock screen / AOD. 

However, it's not quite the same and I still think Samsung should add it for status bar.

I agree with you, it helps but it's still annoying that when reading or watching a video I can not see the charge without interrupting either activity.
