Clock timer and iOS 16 lock screen
I've been using the built-in timer on the Clock app for years. It's useful for timing baking, grilling, and other things. It has been brilliant up until now.
This morning, I was timing some turnovers (22 minutes). At one point, I took out my iPhone and saw the timer widget indicating about 18 minutes left. So I put it back in my pocket.
Bad choice. After a while, I realized that the timer had not gone off. I checked the turnovers, and totally burned. I looked at the iPhone, and I guess the timer had stopped when I had looked at it before. I suppose brushing the screen had paused it at precisely the 18-minute point I'd seen before.
That destroys the value of this timer. I go to the timer on my watch or leave the phone on a countertop. I suppose there is a way to delete that widget function, but it would have been a better approach for me to include it manually rather that having it automatically "upgraded".
Just sayin'
