I used to be able to press the microphone button on my home screen and say “Start 5-minute timer” and it would start the timer.

Now, when I do that, it does a Google search for “Start 5-minute timer”.

How do I get that functionality back?

I don’t want to open an app, and I don’t want to use a number pad or anything to enter the number.

EDIT: Thank you! I went into the Gestures section of Settings, and now I can long-press the power button to get the desired behaviour. This might even be more convenient than tapping the mic icon!

    Just did the same, thanks! I’m very grateful that you decided to make this post today.

      Me too! It’s been bothering me for a while now, and I’m glad I’ve helped a couple others instead of just suffering in silence, haha
