How to set multiple timers at once

iPhone and/or Apple Watch

When Apple launched its fancy Vision Pro spatial computing headset, one of the features that immediately went viral  wasn’t its immersive video or its head tracking or any of its other cutting-edge cleverness. What made the web users go “ooh!” was when a reviewer put timers above multiple pots and pans to keep an eye on their cooking. But you don’t need to buy a $3,499 headset to get some Apple-assisted cooking in your own kitchen. Your iPhone, your iPad, and your Apple Watch can provide you with multiple timers too.

If you're surprised, we're not surprised; until recently your iPhone wasn't able to run multiple timers concurrently. It's taken a very long time for multiple timers to make it to the iPhone, and until iOS 17 you were limited to just one. Still, better late than never and, as we'll discover, the way Apple has implemented the feature is very effective and, as you might hope, works well with Siri.
