Apple’s $95 Million Siri Privacy Settlement: How to Claim Your Share
Apple has agreed to a $95 million settlement to resolve claims that its Siri voice assistant improperly recorded users without the "Hey Siri" wake command. U.S. consumers can now file claims for compensation, with payouts reaching up to $20 per eligible device and a $100 cap per household.
The settlement, finalized in December 2024 in California’s Northern District Court, avoids admission of wrongdoing while addressing privacy concerns. Claim processing coincides with growing scrutiny of voice-activated technologies and their data collection practices.
