Your countdowns now work hands-free. Ask Siri to open a countdown, find events straight from Spotlight search, and build your own automations with the new Shortcuts actions.
Each countdown can now show its time remaining in days, weeks or months β or pick Auto and it'll switch to the friendliest unit as the big day gets closer.
See how much of the month, quarter or year is left at a glance, with a clean week-by-week progress bar.
All-day events now stay locked to the right day wherever you travel β no more dates drifting when you cross a time zone.
We polished the countdown list and gave the welcome screen a brighter, higher-resolution makeover.
