I used your exact wording and it did exactly what you said: created an alarm named "Timer" set for 3PM. I also did it with Siri's language set to "English (United Kingdom)" and "English (Ireland)" and it still did the same thing, so this idiosyncrasy appears to be independent of which language Siri is set to (at least within the set of varieties of English it supports).
- Daneel_ 6y agoAlso replicated in English (Australia), so I agree. I would have phrased this as "one and a quarter minutes", which works, or "75 seconds" which also works just fine. for the 1 hour 30 request above, I would usually phrase this as "an hour and a half" which works just fine. I agree siri can be very picky though - things need to be phrased a certain way, and adapting speech patterns to that is frustrating. Other simple time-based requests such as "what's the time difference to singapore?" don't work on siri either, which is irritating as I work across multiple time zones and I'm forever figuring out time differences.
