How to change the default timer sound?
I’m trying to change the default timer sound
Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S.
I’m trying to change the default timer sound
I too hate the radial sound. If I set my own timer to my favorite and then set another time, the timer remembers my choice. If Siri sets the timer, it goes back to radial. Apple, are you listening. Can we see this changed in the next OS upgrade please?
I understand that to mean something different.
Example: when playing the game candy crush you can adjust the date ahead to gather move lives. I think this article suggests not messing with the actual time of your clock to help trick the reset timer on your game of choice.
Look at the title of it, it says time, not timer.
I don’t think the intent is to not have you change the default countdown timer sound.
i might be wrong 🤷🏼♂️

That's been gone for a while. I suspect it got a lot of complaints. You should still be able to use the volume buttons.
It started working for me yesterday: I can set a timer through Siri and it uses the last-used sound rather than reverting to Radial, as it was doing last week.
I did nothing new to fix it. I have no idea why it's suddenly working now ... but am grateful.
Mine defaults to Valley and is very quiet, like some of the others have complained. Wasn’t doing this before I upgraded to 17.1.1. Had held off updating, but finally succumbed. Wish I hadn’t. Has anyone found a solution yet that makes it retain the last used tone?

Go to the original post at the very top of the page. Look for the bell icon beneath it to the left. If it's blue, it means you're subscribed to the thread. Tap on it, and it should turn white, which means you have unsubscribed.

There's no Clock app there so it is unclear where to provide product feedback. Can you direct more specifically, which would be helpful?
As Clock is one of the pre-installed apps, I would just put the feedback under "iPhone".
It gets even better: my default for the timer is “stop playing”, as a sleep timer. Instead, it will wake me up with radial, if I forget to double check. Not cool!
it seems that the current system persists until the clock app is closed completely an then restarted. Which makes it even more likely that after a few days sleep timer it suddenly is an alarm clock again!
Apple, please, this is more than just a nuisance. In this way it affects health and wellbeing!
I found a workaround for "Stop Playing" timer with Siri.
If you say "start timer for" it will be set with default radial sound.
But if you say "Start sleep timer for *" the timer will be set with a "Stop Playing".
I agree that the timer should default to the last sound you used but it doesn’t. Radiate is the default sound and I need to change it. Thank you
Not trying to change the time, just the sound.
Having same issue with the Radial default. Have you resolved?
Yes, this appears to be a bug that hitched a ride on the newest update. Like everyone here I’m frustrated at now being stuck with the insipid Radial no matter how often I change the alert sound.

C’mon, Apple…FIX THIS BUG !!!
Instead of yelling at the people in this forum who cannot do anything about your demand, tell Apple:
Apple also took away the ability to adjust volume on Lock Screen. Maddening 😐
Sorry, that's the only way I know to change it. Mine is set for "Radar" and it never changes.
