When I set the timer in the clock app the ringtone is delayed by nearly 10 seconds, but only when the phone is locked. iOS 16.4.1.(a) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the clock app with the same issue persisting. Also restarted and force restarted the phone to no avail. Please help.
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
