Questions people ask first

Is Colormybat legit?

It builds a standard iOS configuration profile. iOS shows you that profile before you allow it, and you can remove it from Settings whenever you like.

How do I color my battery on my iPhone?

Choose a color style and an effect on Colormybat, get the profile it builds, then allow it in Settings. The battery icon takes the look you chose.

Can I change the color of my battery without a jailbreak?

Yes, through a configuration profile. On its own, iOS only switches the icon to yellow in Low Power Mode, green while charging and red when the battery is low.

How do I remove it again?

Open Settings, then General, then VPN and Device Management, tap the profile and choose Remove Profile.
