How to disable recent timers on iPhone (iOS17) because it has many recents timers on my phone and I'm too lazy to remove it often. It's really annoying! so I want to see the round timers, not recents!!
I Think Apple needs to fix this! Thanks.
iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17
I hate these recent timers. All it is done is added two steps to my using a timer. I never seem to use the same time twice. Someone came up with what they thought was a good idea. I think go back to the way it was!

Agreed. Very annoying
We all know this. We’re here because we hate doing that.
I totally agree. It should be removed like before. Bothering.
I contacted Apple. They don't care.
Totally agree. It is useless and a dumb idea. There is no need for it and we should be able to disable it.
I agree - the saved times are a nuisance !!!
Insbiukd have the option to toggle on or off like most every other feature. It’s a nuisance and time consuming, the exact opposite of Apple’s “mission.”
Recent timers need to go. Another example of overthinking something that did not need overthinking.
Or do something sane, like list recent timers by length. If named, then alphabetically. The last thing you would expect is to see them sorted by when created.
I'm not a fan of the new timer. If you're going to update a feature - always include the option to hide the or turn-off the update. Some are going to like it and some aren't. The designers and engineers know this and I have to wonder who squashed the "opt-out" button. I remember when Apple prided itself on their simplicity.
We’re talking about not reusing the same timers.
When you start a timer and it shows up followed by a list of recents, just tap the timer you are running and it switches to the big round timer. When it finishes you can repeatedly start the same again and see only the big round timer. This isn’t saved but works for my situation where I am using the same timer for a series of exercises.

Tell Apple:
Agreed! Very annoying and takes pore time and then I have to go and delete them. Also, if I use them it doesn’t make noise when the timer goes off. I hope they fix this. Probably going to search for a different timer app until then
