Prepare to level up your time management game with the exciting news that iOS 17 is bringing the long-awaited feature of multiple timers to iPhones. Apple’s software maestro, Craig Federighi, has revealed that iOS users will finally have the power to set multiple timers simultaneously, ushering in a new era of convenience and efficiency. Let’s delve into the details of this game-changing development.
iOS 17 Multiple timers
In a move that will surely delight iOS users, iOS 17 is set to introduce the ability to set multiple timers – a feature that has been conspicuously absent until now. With the iOS 17 beta, the doors are opening to a new level of multitasking. While you’ll be able to create as many timers as you need, keep in mind that only five timers will be visible on the lock screen simultaneously.
Setting multiple timers is a breeze in iOS 17. Launch the Clock app, tap on the Timer option at the bottom of the screen, and spin the wheel to select the desired duration for your timer. Once you hit the Start button, the countdown commences. Siri remains at your service for this task as well. A new “+” sign in the top right corner of the display lets you effortlessly add another timer, similar to how you’d set multiple alarms in iOS 16. Even if other timers are running, Siri can initiate a fresh one with ease.
If the prospect of managing multiple timers intrigues you, you have the option to explore the feature by installing the latest public beta version of iOS 17. With iOS 17 Public Beta 3 recently released, you can get a taste of the future. However, as with any beta software, there are caveats to consider. App compatibility issues and potential battery drain are not uncommon. It’s a good reminder that betas come with a certain level of instability.
While the ability to set multiple timers might not be groundbreaking, it’s undoubtedly a small addition that will make a big difference in the daily lives of iPhone users. As iOS 17 continues to evolve, the introduction of this feature is a testament to Apple’s commitment to enhancing user experience through subtle yet impactful innovations.
