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
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn this “feature “ off at the present time. And you realize that Apple will never remove a feature that they provided. I totally agree that this feature is very annoying and useless for most of us, so the best thing to do is to give Apple your thoughts on this feature. Write to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback. The more people who write and ask for a way to turn this feature off, the sooner it may happen. And remember in the future to write about anything that you feel needs improvement. Apple is nothing without us, the users, so voice your opinions!!! Thank you!!!

For the love of basic organization principles… why. Is there not a toggle to turn it off.
why did they not put a toggle switch!
No one here in this user-to-user forum can answer why Apple does or does not do something. Nor does Apple read here for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
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.

Recent timers need to go. Another example of overthinking something that did not need overthinking.

I thought you had a good idea, but the clock isn't listed as an ios app!
Just put the feedback under "iPhone". As long as you explain yourself clearly in the text box, it will get were it needs to go.

Meanwhile, there are some great focus timer/pomodoro type apps in the App Store. One of them might better suit your needs.

C’mon Apple. Enable a setting menu SOMEWHERE for this forced unnecessary feature.

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.”

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.
Tell Apple:
Done!
Simply venting on this forum will achieve nothing. Sending feedback to Apple might be equally useless, but if there were a tsunami of complaints about this "feature," who knows?

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 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
