Timer stop function not working

When timer ends.....Stop playing. This feature has stopped working in the past several weeks. I use this a a sleep timer and it has always turned off at the set time but it no longer works. Any workarounds found to get this feature working again>

Thank you for the steps above. Unfortunately, they didn't remove the issue. When I changed it to a sound and 1-minute timer, the timer worked counted down and showed a silent notification bubble but no sound was made. Yes, the sound is on and up, I checked :) I did the close-out of the app and the reboot and several tries of that but no change.

It's unfortunate as I use this every evening as a streaming sleep timer but now it just won't

stop playing at the end of the timer

Hello askerica,


This is a great feature! If you haven't already, restart your iPad as restarting resolves many odd issues. If the behavior continues, complete these steps to see if they refresh this feature:


  1. Check that your iPad is fully updated. If an update is needed, back up first: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  2. Open the Clock app and change the setting to a sound: Use the timer or stopwatch on iPhone - Apple Support
  3. Set the timer for one minute, and start it to allow it to countdown and complete.
  4. Quit the Clock app and open it again for fresh connections: Quit and reopen an app on iPad - Apple Support
  5. Set another Timer and choose the "Stop Playing" option, then test.


Did the music stop playing as expected after following those steps? Keep us posted!


Take care.
