Answered by Michael Wilson

There is a way to set multiple timers on an iPhone. It can be done through the Shortcuts feature on iOS devices. Shortcuts allows you to automate tasks and create custom shortcuts to perform various actions on your iPhone.

To set multiple timers using Shortcuts, follow these steps:

1. Swipe right on the lock screen to access the Today View widgets.

2. Scroll down to the bottom and tap on “Edit” to customize your widgets.

3. Look for the Shortcuts widget and tap on the green “+” button to add it to your widgets.

4. Once added, you may need to tap on “Show More” to expand the widget and see all your available shortcuts, depending on how many shortcuts you have.

5. Locate the “Set Multiple Timers” shortcut in the Shortcuts widget and tap on it.

6. The “Set Multiple Timers” shortcut will open, allowing you to add and customize multiple timers.

7. Tap on the “+” button to add a new timer. You can set the duration and give each timer a name.

8. Repeat step 7 to add as many timers as you need.

9. Once you have added all your timers, tap on “Start Timers” to begin the countdown for all the timers simultaneously.

10. You can view the countdown for each timer in the Shortcuts app or by swiping right on the lock screen and accessing the Shortcuts widget.

By using the Shortcuts feature and the “Set Multiple Timers” shortcut, you can easily set and manage multiple timers on your iPhone. It can be particularly useful for tasks that require timing, such as cooking multiple dishes or managing your time during workouts.

Personally, I have found this feature to be quite handy when juggling multiple tasks that require timing. For example, when I’m cooking a meal with different components that require different cooking times, I can set multiple timers to keep track of each dish simultaneously. It helps me stay organized and ensures that everything is cooked perfectly.

If you want to set multiple timers on your iPhone, you can use the Shortcuts feature and the “Set Multiple Timers” shortcut. It provides a convenient way to manage and keep track of multiple timers simultaneously.
