Are you going to do any task and want to set the timer for whenever it has to start and stop periodically. Though you can set timers from your devices, there is no option for repeat timers. Like if you want to do repetitive workouts or have to perform any task periodically, you can set the desired time for it. And after that, the timer should repeat to notify you for the next loop and time allotted for its completion.
For example, you have to complete two tasks and for each, you set up 1 hour. With repeat timer, you will be notified when 1 hour is completed. And you can start with another task with a timer for the same set up automatically. So without any further ado, let’s see how to set repeat timer on your Android and iOS devices.
Set Repeat Timers On iPhone And Android
Step 1
Here we are going to use Interval Timer – HIIT which you can download from either the Play Store or App Store.
Step 2
On opening the app you will see the timer and some preset setting which can be used for workouts or other training as per your desire. But to set timers with repeat option you will need to either edit the given time or create a new one.
The method for both, creating and editing the existing timer is similar. For editing the existing timer tap on Clock icon on the top right, or for creating a new one tap on the left side of the clock icon to open the next screen. To add a new timer here tap on the plus icon.
Step 3
Once you select any of the desired options from the above method, you will see the screen for adding the time and details of the timer. Here add the title, type, warmup duration, interval cycle and cool down or rest time as per your choice. To make it repeat, tap on the Repeat option and check the box in front of it.
Step 4
After this, you will get to choose for how much time you want to repeat the timer. It can repeat for minimum 2 and maximum 25 times. Once you are done selecting the desired repeat timings, tap on Ok and then Save the created timer.
Step 5
To start the timer just tap on start, the countdown for your selected time will start and you will be able to have repeat timers.
