Android 16 Beta 4: How to bring back Pixel Battery health [U]

After introducing last month, Android 16 Beta 4 has removed the new Battery health stats page for a number of Pixel owners.

Update: While restarting did not bring back Battery health yesterday, the stats page is appearing again after a reboot today. You can also Force stop the Settings app. Compared to Beta 3, some users have noticed a higher percentage with Beta 4. In our case (on the same Pixel 9), it’s 100% after previously being 97%.

With Beta 4, going to Pixel Settings > Battery no longer shows “Battery health,” with Charging optimization instead returning to the main page.

This is the case on our Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 9, and Pixel 9 Pro. However, one Pixel 9 we checked still has the Battery health capability, with others also still having it.

Battery health shows a big green checkmark if everything is “Normal.” Google notes your phone’s Battery capacity as an “estimated percentage of charge the battery can currently hold compared to a new standard battery.” It decreases over the lifetime of your device.

There’s also a list of existing Battery health articles, while the Charging optimization page has been moved to the bottom of this page.

Battery capacity joins how you can check Device temperature from Battery diagnostics > Phone is very warm, as well as Cycle count under About phone > Battery information.

Hopefully, Battery capacity will return with the stable release in June, and that it’s not limited to only being available on new devices.
