If you don’t need to see a battery percentage in your status bar and feel it’s taking up too much space, you can hide it on your Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. Samsung doesn’t make this totally clear, but it’s a simple process that will take you less than a minute.

Here’s how.

1. Open the Settings app on your device and select Battery
2. Tap the MORE button in the top corner
3. Tap Hide battery percentage

You’ll now have more room in your status bar for notifications, and if you decide you want the battery percentage back, you can simply repeat the process above. But rather than showing this information in your status bar, you could use a widget instead.

I use the DashClock widget on my home screen with the Battery Extension plugin, but there are lots of other widgets that can display battery percentage — and most are totally free.
