Apple default timer ringtone

After I downloaded iOS 17 on my iPhone 14 Pro i noticed something weird. I obviously know that iOS 17 adds new ringtones, but I want both my alarm and timer ringtone to be the old default one, Radar. So when I went to the clock app I set the alarm back to Radar manually. But when I ask Siri to set a alarm or timer, it always ends up playing Radial, the new default ringtone. Anyone know how to fix this?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Same issue here… no mater what tone is set “when timer ends” it always plays radial when you ask Siri to set the timer… if you set the timer in the timer app the select ringtone does play.


steps to reproduce:


  • open Timer
  • set timer to 3 seconds
  • set a ringtone for “When timer ends”
  • press the “Start” button
  • your selected ringtone will play
  • now press the green arrow on the newly saved timer below the selected ringtone
  • now Radial (Default) plays and not the selected ringtone that previously played.
  • also creating a timer via Siri also plays Radial



Siri is my preferred way to set a timer but I do not want to hear radial - this is recent issue with the recent update.


any ideas?
