While the HomePod has supported multiple timers for some time, on the iPhone it does not. Anyone that has tried iOS 16 find if you can set multiple timers using Siri on the iPhone?
 
What I don't understand is why the countdown Timer function of iOS Clock is a single bar when accessed from Control Centre, a three dial full window if accessed from Clock app but completely different on Apple Watch.
Apple Watch Timer displays the four most recent custom timers, eight preset clock face timers and a Custom Timer button to create new custom presets.
I use a 6min timer everyday for my coffee percolator, 45min for the washing machine, presets to check items on the stove etc etc. it's fantastic because I do not need to set a time every time I use it. So why not mimic this on the iPhone. Its one of the few examples where the AW app is significantly better than the iOS version.

I'm totally with you on this. I also need multiple timers and presets and, although I'm sure there are better apps out there than the stock one, it would be great if Apple mimicked what they already have on the Apple Watch on the iPhone.
