Why does the timer keep showing up randomly on my iPhone 12 screen when I haven't set it? It just appears without asking for it. It just shows up when on the screen without me requesting it.

That is a Siri Suggestion. That can appear if you have Siri Suggestions turned on in Settings and the time that it appears is close to a time that you used a 1 minute timer in the past. You can go into Settings>Siri and turn off suggestions if you wish.
Double-tapping the screen should not make the timer appear. While a countdown would appear on the lock screen if you are using the timer, the app itself would not appear in that case. I cannot think of any other reason this would magically appear on the lock screen.
Is it in the process of counting down? Otherwise, I would not have a clue why it would just appear. Is it on the lock screen or the home screen while you have the iPhone unlocked?
It appears on the lock screen for no reason. I wish I had a screen shot to show you. Could it be I'm unintentionally double tapping the screen to make it appear, or something like that?
This is what shows up occasionally, Chris.
Thanks. I swiped right from home screen and found it today. Thanks for staying with me on this and solving my problem.
You're welcome. Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been out of town.
