This highly anticipated feature lets you quickly charge past your set limit, perfect for those moments when you need every drop of battery.
The new iOS 26 beta (Developer Beta 1) now allows users to temporarily bypass their set charging limit, as seen in a recent screenshot showing an “85% Charged to 85% Limit” indicator with a clear “Charge to 100%” button. This means that if you usually optimize your battery health by limiting charges to 85% or 90%, you can now easily push it to full for a single session without altering your default settings.
Many users are thrilled, with some on Reddit noting that while previous versions (like iOS 18.5) allowed a day-long override, this new per-session option is more convenient. The feature appears to be available for newer models, including the iPhone 15 and 16, and offers 5% increments between 80-100% for adjusted limits. This enhancement offers greater flexibility, addressing a common pain point for those who prioritize both battery longevity and immediate power needs.
This small but mighty update is set to make a big difference in how you manage your iPhone’s battery, offering ultimate control right when you need it most.
