My timer does not go off.

Question

My timer does not go off.

I have an iphone 7 (iOS version is 16.1.2). I have found that for the past few months my timer doesn't go off when it is set to 5 minutes, which is the same time my auto-lock is set to. I tested timer and auto-lock both set to 1, 2, 3, and 4 minutes. When both are set to 1 min, the timer works, but it does not work when both are set to 2, 3, 4 and 5. I have restarted my phone, forced restart, updated iOS. I have no other timer apps. I looked through all of the other threads with questions about this issue and did what was advised, but still have the issue. Any other suggestions?

If you have an iPhone 7 as you indicate in your post, it cannot be on iOS 16.1.2. The iPhone 7 does not support an iOS higher than 15.7.1. Next, here is a post from 2020 describing the same behavior along with a response from Apple Specialist. Check that and follow those steps to see if that helps. iPhone Timer doesn't sound if period is s… - Apple Community

Oh my! You are right, I was looking through my phone and realize I was going off my old phone name. I have an iphone XR - very different from a 7. Sorry for the confusion.
