But the one place it becomes especially relevant is on your Lock Screen. The Control Center here saves you so much time when you just want to switch on your iPhone flashlight or turn on cellular data without the hassle of unlocking your device.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whenever you open the Control Center from the Lock Screen, though, you might have noticed a short horizontal line under the battery icon. It starts from under the cell signal and goes to the middle of the battery. This line is essentially the Control Center indicator and lets you know you can access the Control Center by pulling down from that spot. It can be an eyesore, yes, but there&#8217;s actually a way to turn it off.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">How to disable the line under the battery icon on your Lock Screen<\/h2>\n<p>                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/what-that-line-under-the-battery-icon-on-your-iphone-lock-screen-is-for\/how-to-disable-the-line-under-the-battery-icon-on-your-lock-screen-1778576996.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2170512\/what-line-under-battery-icon-on-iphone-lock-screen-is-for\/\" data-post-id=\"2170512\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"What That Line Under The Battery Icon On Your iPhone Lock Screen Is For: How to disable the line under the battery icon on your Lock Screen\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"iPhone Lock Screen showing no more line under battery\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span class=\"gallery-image-credit\">Marinel Sigue\/BGR<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you want to remove the line under the battery icon on your iPhone Lock Screen, you&#8217;ll need to disable Lock Screen access in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2170512\/what-line-under-battery-icon-on-iphone-lock-screen-is-for\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What That Line Under The Battery Icon On Your iPhone Lock Screen Is For https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2170512\/what-line-under-battery-icon-on-iphone-lock-screen-is-for\/&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":247839,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/what-that-line-under-the-battery-icon-on-your-iphone-lock-screen-is-for\/l-intro-1778576995.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-247838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247838"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247838"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247838\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247840,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247838\/revisions\/247840"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
