The inability to set multiple simultaneous timers is annoying. I compensate by setting multiple alarms. "Delete all my alarms" works when I'm done, but it's certainly a hack.
"hey siri, set a 30 minute timer for the rice."
it works just fine for me, use it all the time.
>There's already a [number] minute timer. Replace? Confirm/Cancel
Running iOS 16.1, so unless they added this feature in the last few months I'm not sure why we'd see different results.
edit: Perhaps you're using HomePod? Apparently Siri on HomePod supports multiple timers, while Siri on iPhone does not. Goofy.
I mean, I guess a watch is supposed to be for telling time or whatever, but this is just a weird feature omission…
I know, right?
Also a little known hack to set a timer you don’t have to say the whole thing just press the Siri button or say hey siri ‘n minutes’ and it will set a timer for n minutes.
Latest update(?) it quit announcing expiration by name if only one was running. Just beeps, and maybe I forgot what it was supposed to be timing. Annoying.
Especially annoying if more than one person in the house is setting timers.
