Have you ever had Siri activate unintentionally? A class-action lawsuit alleges that accidental Siri activations allowed the digital assistant to listen in on private conversations, leading to a potential payout from Apple. The settlement amounts to $95 million. Apple denies these allegations, but to be eligible for compensation, you must have owned or purchased a Siri-enabled Apple device in the US between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, and experienced unintended Siri activation during a private conversation. The plaintiffs claim that "obscure topics" from these conversations were used to target advertisements. Apple maintains that Siri data was never used for marketing profiles or advertising. To file a claim (deadline July 2nd), check for an email with the subject line: “Lopez Voice Assistant Class Action Settlement,” containing a confirmation code and link to the lawsuit's website. You can claim for up to five devices, with a maximum payout of $20 per device. Payments are expected later this year.
