When asking Siri to set an alarm she just sets a timer now since iOS 17 update.

When I ask Siri “hey siri, set an alarm for 10 minutes” before iOS 17 she would set an alarm clock like I asked, now she just sets a timer with the time asked for… like it’s really not rocket science.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

Except that is how I’ve been doing for the last 2-3 years I’ve owned my iPhone. So no yours wrong she won’t always do that, ONLY SINCE THIS LAST17 update. If I need an alarm in 45 minutes what sense does it make to set a timer instead? If I said Siri start a timer for 45 minutes that makes sense.
