Apple Settles Siri Privacy Lawsuit for $95 Million Over Inadvertent Recordings

Apple has agreed to a $95 million class action settlement resolving claims that Siri unintentionally activated and recorded private conversations, then shared audio with third parties without user consent. The lawsuit, filed in 2021, covered device activations from September 2014 onward, spanning the early "Hey Siri" rollout through subsequent iterations. The settlement avoids admitting wrongdoing but signals willingness to resolve legacy privacy claims as regulatory scrutiny around voice assistants intensifies.
