      Because on the screenshot he is at 15%, icon in red, and seeing that will trigger undue stress for most people.

        Why would anyone stress over the state of someone else’s phone battery in a screenshot? It’s usually barely worth being concerned about on your own phone unless you’re expecting an important call, worst case you’re disconnected for an hour or two. Hardly the end of the world.

          usually because they have been caught in situations where they didn’t keep their phone topped up and ended up needing their phone and having it run out of energy at a critical moment causing some undue stress. The resulting fear of running out again causes them to feel stress when they see the low number and they feel compelled to focus on it and comment even though it isn’t really rational.

          As the other commenter said. Most phones have a super power saving mode which can extend your battery runtime by a significant time making sure your phone can phone when needed. But, most people forget that or do not bother to use that function.
