Original release notes
## Siri & Shortcuts 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. ## Count down in weeks or months (Pro) Each countdown can now show its time remaining in days, weeks or months — or pick Auto and it'll switch to the friendliest unit as the big day gets closer. ##New month progress widget 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, fixed across time zones All-day events now stay locked to the right day wherever you travel — no more dates drifting when you cross a time zone. ## A fresh coat of paint We polished the countdown list and gave the welcome screen a brighter, higher-resolution makeover.
