One of the simplest ways to set a timer until recently was to ask Google Search to do it for you, but the search engine’s built-in timer appears to have vanished.<\/p>\n
According to Search Engine Roundtable<\/a><\/strong>, Google Search’s timer and stopwatch feature stopped working on 18 July 2022 and is still unavailable today.<\/p>\n Searching phrases like “set a timer for 10 minutes” would have previously presented users with a 10-minute timer. However, similar search phrases now only return search results and videos.<\/p>\n A tweet from Google’s public liaison for Search, Danny Sullivan, revealed that the company did not decide to remove the feature without warning.<\/p>\n The why is we have an issue that we’ve been looking and, and we expect to have it back fairly soon.<\/p>\n \u2014 Danny Sullivan (@dannysullivan) August 1, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
