Understanding the $95M Apple Siri Settlement and What It Means for Device Owners
Apple Inc. has agreed to a $95 million class action settlement to resolve allegations that its Siri digital assistant unintentionally recorded private conversations and may have shared them with third parties. This settlement stems from a class action lawsuit filed in 2019, which accused the tech giant of violating users’ privacy rights across multiple Siri-enabled devices.

If you owned or purchased any Siri-enabled device in the United States between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, you could be entitled to a cash payment of up to $20 per device, depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
Why Was the Apple Siri Lawsuit Filed?
The lawsuit, filed under the name Lopez, et al. v. Apple Inc., alleged that:
- Siri was inadvertently activated by background noise or unrelated speech.
- These unintended activations recorded private conversations.
- Apple allegedly stored or shared these audio recordings with third-party contractors for review and analysis.
Although Apple denied any wrongdoing, the company chose to settle the lawsuit to avoid prolonged litigation.
