Doesn't work for me. I get this:

>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.

My Apple Watch supports multiple timers, and yet my iPhone does not (iOS 16.4.1).

I mean, I guess a watch is supposed to be for telling time or whatever, but this is just a weird feature omission…

siri definitely has multiple timers. BUT you can only have two though and it only works on Apple Watch and HomePods.

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.
