Step 1: Access the Timer App
First, you need to open the Timer app on your iPhone. You can find it on your home screen, represented by a clock icon. If you can’t find it, you can search for “Timer” in the search bar at the top of your screen.

Select the timer you want to turn off by tapping on it. This will open the timer’s details, showing you the remaining time and any other settings you’ve configured.
Step 4: Tap the “Stop” Button
In the timer’s details, you’ll find a “Stop” button. Tap on this button to stop the timer immediately. The timer will display a “Paused” status, indicating that it has been stopped.
Step 5: Confirm the Action
A confirmation prompt will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to stop the timer. Tap “Stop” again to confirm your action, and the timer will be turned off.
Alternative Method: Use the Control Center
