Yes, my devices are all up to date, and the problem persists.

Hello Blair Jr,


To clarify, is the music stopping as soon as you start a timer? Or is the music stopping when the timer ends?


If it's the latter, that is how it's designed. When a timer completes and it plays whatever sound you have set, it will pause the music to play that timer sound. Once you dismiss the timer, the music will resume.


Use the timer or stopwatch on iPhone


If you'd like to see an option added that would allow the music to keep playing and the timer sound to just play over it, you can submit that suggestion to Apple through their feedback site here: Product Feedback


Cheers!
