How to edit an already running timer with Siri

    Pausing a timer with Siri

  3. Depending on what you asked, you may have to tell Siri what changes you'd like to make.

  4. If no changes are required, Siri will simply confirm that your request was made.

    Restarting a timer with Siri

Note that restarting a timer isn't starting it over, but instead can only be used if you've stopped a current timer. Telling Siri to restart a timer simply picks up exactly where you left off when you paused or stopped it.
