iOS 17 introduced a nifty update to the Clock app that allows you to set multiple timers. This comes in really handy when you want to keep tabs on multiple things. Previously, you had to keep an alarm but with iOS 17 you can use multiple countdown timers instead.
So, let us see how this works and how beneficial it can be for us.
What Is Multi-Timers in iOS 17?
As its name suggests, the Multi-Timer feature is designed to help you stay on top of multiple tasks and helps you complete them on time. Most of us get into demanding situations that require us to multi-task. And losing track of time while multitasking is something that almost all of us are guilty of. And this is precisely where Multi-Timer comes into the picture.
