Timer Display in IOS28.

How do I get my timer app to display the way it used to in IOS27? I updated to IOS 28 and now it shows up at the top of my screen and you have to slide it to set a time.

iOS 28 does not exist. The current iOS version is iOS 27.


The timer appears inside the Clock App and once set will show in the dynamic island for iPhone models that support it.


You can tap on the dynamic island to open the clock app to the timer and edit there if needed.


click here ➜ Set timers in Clock on iPhone - Apple Support


and here View Live Activities in the Dynamic Island on iPhone - Apple Support

As an example see the image below. The timer will appear in the black pill shaped area at the top and the clock app can be opened by tapping on it or just navigaing to the actual clock app.
