Apple Will Pay Users $95 Million For Losing Lawsuit Over Siri Unintentionally Listening In

Apple has agreed to a substantial $95 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit that accused its popular voice assistant, Siri, of secretly listening in on private conversations of users. The class-action lawsuit, which was initially filed five years ago, claimed that Siri was unintentionally activated on Apple devices like iPhones, iPads, and HomePods, capturing private discussions without the users’ knowledge or consent.

Despite agreeing to settle the case, Apple has consistently denied any wrongdoing. In a statement included in the settlement filing, the tech giant emphasised, “Apple has at all times denied and continues to deny any and all alleged wrongdoing and liability.”

The Cupertino company has maintained that it did not intentionally breach any user privacy and that it takes privacy seriously as part of its brand image.
