Apple Settles Siri Privacy Lawsuit for $500M

Title: Apple Settles Landmark Lawsuit Over Siri’s 'Eavesdropping'

In a surprising turn of events, Apple has agreed to a $500 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant, Siri, recorded users without their consent. The lawsuit, which had been brewing since 2019, claimed that Apple violated privacy laws by allowing Siri to accidentally activate and record sensitive conversations—including medical discussions, private business deals, and even intimate moments—without users’ knowledge.

How It All Started

The controversy began when a whistleblower, a former Apple contractor, revealed that Siri’s 'always listening' feature sometimes mistook background noise for the 'Hey Siri' wake command. These accidental recordings were then sent to Apple’s servers for quality control, where human reviewers could hear them.

Several plaintiffs came forward with shocking stories:

A doctor discovered Siri had recorded confidential patient discussions.

A journalist found that Siri had captured off-the-record interview details.

A couple in California realized their private arguments had been logged.

$150 million will fund privacy-focused AI research.

$50 million will cover legal fees.

Apple has also agreed to update Siri’s privacy settings, making it clearer when the assistant is active and giving users more control over data storage.

Apple’s Response

In a statement, Apple maintained that no misuse of data occurred but acknowledged that 'mistakes were made in transparency.' The company emphasized that it has since ended human review of Siri recordings and introduced on-device processing for most voice requests.

What’s Next?

While the settlement avoids a lengthy court battle, critics argue that tech companies still aren’t doing enough to protect user privacy. Some lawmakers are calling for stricter regulations on AI voice assistants.

For now, Siri users can breathe a little easier—knowing that Apple is being held accountable, and their voices might finally stay private.
