I have ten times more anxiety without the number lmao

The number of people that have it on surprises me.

I'm reminded of the 24 hour news channels who love to put ultra detailed timing. If there is a press conference at 9pm they don't just say it's at 9pm, at noon they'll start a 9 hour countdown.

So if you watch the news at any point that day you'll know it's 8:43:22 until the press conference. It's 6:12:43 until the press conference. It's 5:24:46 until the press conference.

Those numbers don't mean anything.

When I started writing this comment I had 92% battery left. Now I have 91% battery left. If I ramble for too long what if it goes to 90%? At the rate it's dropping am I going to have less than two hours of battery life left? Where is my charger?!?!

Or, I can just look at the list mostly full icon. I'm good.

That's interesting, I have never had anxiety about my phone battery. I have moderate annoyance if completely runs out and shuts off. Usually I try to keep it above 3% lol. I use the number like, "ok I have 40% so that's like 6 hours"; but if people stress out about it, I could see the number being triggering.

I used to worry if it were at X percent at Y time. But the truth is my phone lasts all day 99% of the time so what’s the point of worrying? So I have it off. All I need to know is roughly how much power it has, if it dips below 20% it warns me and I turn on low power and there’s still enough power for up to a few hours.

same, the number is inaccurate when it really matters anyway. worst update Samsung made recently was to remove the option to hide the number... smh
