Apple settles for $95M over Siri privacy allegations, with users eligible for payouts.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Apple has agreed to a $95 million settlement over allegations that its voice assistant, Siri, recorded users without their consent and shared the data with third parties. While the company denies any wrongdoing, the lawsuit accused Apple of violating user privacy by allowing Siri to activate unintentionally and capture private conversations.
Consumers who owned Siri-enabled Apple devices between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, may be eligible for compensation if they experienced an unintended Siri activation during a confidential conversation. Eligible devices include iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, iMacs, HomePods, iPod touches, and Apple TVs.
Payouts are capped at $20 per device for up to five devices per person. The final amount may vary based on the number of claims submitted.
To file, users can visit the settlement website. Those who received an official notice can use their claim ID and confirmation code. Others must submit contact information and proof of ownership, such as a receipt or serial number.
The deadline to submit claims is July 2, 2025. A final court hearing is set for August 1, 2025, after which payments will be processed if the settlement is approved and unchallenged.
