Hey Siri, set timer for X minutes..waiting..waiting.

Not so much a complaint, more like noting that timers are not always set instantly.

Example:

"Hey Siri, set timer for 5 minutes"
Last time I set that timer, which was just a while ago it waited for a minimum of 10 seconds before
the timer actually started.
Why does it take that long to actually set that timer, and if Siri knows that the timer needs to be set it
should take into account the time in between I asked and the setting of the timer.

… and they say it all happens on-device now. Lol.

iOS 15 is still in beta, expect things to not work as usual.

I know, I will keep an eye on it, it should be instantly because it's on-device.

Finally seen what Siri looks like, no surprise she’s slow. 😂

On device =/= instantly. But it could and should be faster.

I find if there is any significant background noise, asking for a timer can be frustrating. When I’m cooking I tend to use my Amazon Echo alongside my Apple Watch and iPhone. The Echo works so much better but I think Amazon have invested more into their voice assistant market. It is kind of frustrating that all these years later and Apple have been overtaken in this regard.

Haven't really thought about background noise, it was quiet though when I asked, so, it must be something else.
