There are a lot of interesting features that are available on the iPhone 11 by default, many of which are found in the device’s default apps. One app, the Clock app, has a handful of different options, including a timer. But you might be wondering how to change the timer sound on your iPhone 11 if you don’t like the current one being used.
When you start using certain features on your iPhone there will be some default settings. Many of these are ideal for a lot of users, and they may not ever need to change them.
But certain settings, such as the notification sound, are likely something that you want to be different. For example, you may have already changed your ringtone.
