Apple settles $95 million agreement over Siri eavesdropping allegations

If Siri has ever been activated on your Apple device without your consent, you may soon be eligible to receive part of a proposed $95 million settlement. The settlement stems from a class action lawsuit that alleged Apple’s voice assistant, Siri, recorded users’ conversations without their permission.

In the lawsuit, it was claimed that Siri would sometimes activate and record audio even when users did not intend to use the feature. This raised serious privacy concerns for many Apple device owners.

As part of the proposed settlement, Apple has agreed to set up a fund of $95 million to compensate affected users. The exact amount that each eligible user will receive has not yet been determined, but it is expected to vary depending on the number of people who file a claim.

To be eligible to receive compensation, users must have had Siri activated on their Apple device without their consent between a certain period. Details on how to file a claim and the deadline for doing so will be provided once the settlement is finalized.

This proposed settlement serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting our privacy in the digital age. As technology continues to advance, it is crucial for companies to respect and uphold their users’ privacy rights. Stay informed about privacy settings on your devices and apps to ensure that your personal information is secure.

If you believe you may be eligible to receive compensation from this settlement, be sure to keep an eye out for updates on how to file a claim. Your privacy is valuable, and it is important to hold companies accountable for any breaches of trust.
