It’s now possible to set multiple timers on iPhone.
The trick was added in September 2023 as part of the iOS 17 update.
And fans pointed out how great the addition is in a Reddit thread about the update.
One enchanted user wrote: “I had no clue of multiple timers, FINALLY! I needed that so bad.”
Another said: “Thank god! I’m a nurse and I use the timer function all the time at work and have been waiting for multiple timers FOR YEARS.”
One noted: “Glad it’s finally here. Will without a doubt be the new feature I used the most. Seems to work well.”
A different user wrote: “Multiple timers!! I literally needed that two days ago. Sweet!”
Of course keen Apple fans will know that other gadgets in the company’s line-up already offered multiple timers.
