Amazon's Alexa Now Features Named Multiple Timers

Amazon Echo
Beep! Beep! Beep! What was the timer for?

That's no longer a problem for Amazon's Alexa  on Echo speakers..

Alexa now allows you to name your timers.

For example, you can create a timer named "laundry" and another one named "pizza".

Just use your device's wake word (Alexa, Computer or Echo) and then "Create a 30 minute timer called Laundry".

When the timer goes off, it will also tell you the timer's name.

You can also create named reminders for a specific date and time.

Alexa is our favorite personal assistant.

And with her growing set of skills, Google, Microsoft and Apple need to up their game to match Amazon's lead.

Do you like to listen to music when you fall asleep?

You can easily set an iPhone timer to play your music for a set time.

And there are numerous Android apps to do the same thing for Android phones.

It's easy to do on an iPhone.  Here's how:
  • Open the Clock app on your iPhone.
  • Click on the Timer icon in the lower right-hand corner.
  • Set the number of minutes you want your music to play
  • Click the option "When Timer Ends"
  • Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select "Stop Playing"
  • Select "Set" to return to the timer menu.  Click "Start" and the timer will start.
  • Now choose the music or podcast you want to listen to.  When the timer ends, your music will stop playing.  This option generally works with most apps and streaming services.
