setting sub-minute timers

[ghanwani]

I discovered an interesting feature of the built in timer app when using Siri.

It is not possible to manually set a sub-minute timer, e.g. 30 seconds, or 1 minute and 20 seconds, etc.

However, if you tell Siri "set a timer for 30 seconds," it will actually start the timer correctly!

This has annoyed me for a while. It's not unique to iOS 11.

I should have posted to iOS 10, since that is what I'm running. I didn't pay attention, just went to the latest version to post.

In iOS 11 you actually can manually set the seconds in the Clock app's timer section.
