What's the $95 Million Apple Siri Class Action?
If you owned an iPhone, MacBook, or other Siri-enabled Apple products between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024 you may be owed compensation from a $95,000,000 class action settlement. Apple has agreed to the $95 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging that its built-in AI virtual assistant, known as Siri, recorded users' private conversations without their required consent.Siri is Apple's AI voice-activated virtual assistant that uses natural language processing to perform tasks, answer questions, and provide recommendations on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Desktop Macs, and Apple Watches.
In a significant development, Apple has agreed to a $95 million settlement to resolve a class-action lawsuit alleging that its virtual assistant, Siri, inadvertently recorded users' private conversations without consent. This settlement, filed on December 13, 2024, in Oakland, California, awaits approval from a U.S. District Judge.
The Apple Siri eavesdropping class action lawsuit alleges that Siri was inadvertently activated on user devices such as iPhones and iPads, leading to the recording of private conversations. These recordings were allegedly reviewed by Apple contractors for quality control purposes, raising significant data privacy concerns for millions of consumers. The class action lawsuit contended that such practices violated user privacy, especially since users were unaware that their interactions could be overheard by human reviewers. Apple has agreed to settle the massive settlement but has not admitted any wrongdoing. The settlement is part of a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies are increasingly scrutinized for their data collection practices and the handling of user privacy — see the related $68M Google Assistant privacy settlement and the pending Amazon Alexa Voice ID BIPA class action, alongside earlier cases such as Facebook's $725 million privacy class action.
The class action lawsuit alleged that Siri's accidental activations resulted in the recording of confidential discussions, which allegedly may have been shared with others, including advertisers. Apple has denied allegations that they sold any Siri recorded data to third parties, but has agreed to settle the $95 million lawsuit anyway.
The class action complaint cited instances where users discussed specific products or medical treatments, only to later receive targeted advertisements related to those discussions. Such incidents intensified concerns about unauthorized data collection and potential breaches of user confidentiality, but whether or not Apple actually violated user privacy remains open to interpretation since the class action lawsuit was settled.

What Was Apple's Response to the $95M Siri Privacy Settlement?
In response to the concerns raised, Apple has previously taken steps to enhance user privacy. In 2019, the company temporarily suspended its Siri grading program, which involved human review of audio recordings, and later reinstated it with an opt-in feature, allowing users to decide whether their recordings could be used to improve Siri's performance.
