Summary

  • Siri voice assistant users who experienced unwanted activations on their devices may be due a payout from Apple, which has set aside $95m to settle a class action lawsuit dating back to 2019.
  • The suit alleged that Siri was passing on recordings of conversations to third parties without consent.
  • Apple apologised and said it would delete recordings, but denied enabling advertisers to use the information for targeted campaigns.
  • The company is now opening applications for anyone who thinks they are eligible to claim, which must be done by July 2, 2025.
  • Each successful claim for each device is capped at $20.
