Hi,
since upgrading to iOS 14 my timer keeps randomly going off even though I’ve not set it. At first I thought I was accidentally hitting my shortcuts so I removed them from the home screens. But now it’s still happening - even when I’ve not even touched the phone! Anyone else experiencing this? Because it’s starting to get really annoying...
iPhone 11, iOS 14
Same thing keeps happening to me. I am not setting the timer myself, it just randomly starts. Today I was actually looking at Facebook on my phone when it started. I saw a clock notification come down from the top of the screen, and when I looked at my Home Screen, the timer was started.

I think I found my issue. I have a shortcut for a 15 minute timer, and then I set that as one of the new back tap options, which obviously is not working very well since I set it for the triple tap. https://9to5mac.com/2020/09/17/how-to-use-iphone-back-tap-controls-ios-14/
After turning off back tap, no more random timer!
It’s still happening and like you I see it happen even when I’m not “accidentally” pressing anything to start it up. The clock just appears from the top of the screen and the timer is counting down. There are no set timers programmed or anything of the sort - I don’t even have alarms set. This is still happening and hasn’t been resolved... at least it’s good to know I’m not the only one!
I have not gotten this. Have you gone in and checked to make sure that all timers are removed and that nothing is turned on?
iOS 14 timer keeps going off!
