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 🤷🏼‍♂️

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!
