Why can't the iPhone Timer be used on a vibrate-only mode?

The alarm can do it but there is no way to do this on the timer.


I'd love to know why. It's surely a relatively simple bit of programming so there is a decision behind this...


I'm using it for time reminders in meetings where audio playing isn't an option. Yes, there are 3rd party apps but it would be preferable to do natively.

"Why" questions can only be answered by Apple.


You have posted on a user-to-user site....we are all users here....just like you. No one here can explain "why" Apple does what they do, or when they might be planning to do something.


Apple is not here, and they will not answer.


Let Apple know directly what you would like to see. If enough users request a certain feature or option, Apple might incorporate it in a future iOS release.
