Apple's $95 Million Siri Settlement: Eligible Users Have Until July 2 to File Claims
A class-action lawsuit settlement may entitle users to compensation if they have experienced unintentional Siri activation and audio recording
A settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit against Apple, in which the company has agreed to pay $95 million.
The lawsuit alleged that the Siri virtual assistant could be activated without user intent and recorded audio without explicit consent, which was then sent to third-party entities.
Users who have experienced such instances of unintentional Siri activation may be eligible for compensation.
The settlement applies to individuals who have used Apple devices with Siri enabled.
Those who believe they are eligible have until July 2 to submit their claims.
The lawsuit centered on concerns that Siri's unintentional activation and subsequent audio recording may have occurred without users' knowledge or consent, potentially compromising their privacy.
