How to Check Battery Health on OnePlus Phones

Apple has introduced the Battery Health feature to both iOS and macOS recently. This feature allows the users to check their device’s battery health and know when to replace the battery. This is a very useful feature. The sad part is that Android still doesn’t support this Battery Health check feature natively.

It should be the practice of the companies to provide more information to users of the devices they own. Thankfully, OnePlus has already released this feature for its smartphones. While Google is yet to release this feature. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how you can check battery health on your OnePlus smartphone.

Replacing the battery at the right time keeps your device running in good health. OnePlus has done a great job by introducing this feature. By checking the battery health, you would know when it’s time to replace the battery on your OnePlus device.

If the battery status is showing healthy or normal (above 80% capacity), you don’t need to replace your battery. But when it shows poor (below 75%), you should consider changing the battery.

The OnePlus Diagnostic app works on all the OnePlus smartphones that are running Android 6.0 or above. This means it will work on all the OnePlus smartphones starting OnePlus 3 and above.
