Apple has agreed to pay up to $24.9 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company’s Siri voice assistant violated user privacy by recording conversations without consent. The settlement covers anyone in the United States who purchased an iOS device with Siri enabled between October 2011 and the present day. Eligible customers could receive up to $3.2 million in compensation, with individual payouts ranging from $5 to $175 depending on the number of approved claims. The lawsuit claimed that Apple’s software recorded and transmitted conversations to human reviewers without users’ knowledge or permission. Apple denied any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to avoid further legal costs. The company also agreed to make changes to its privacy practices and disclosures related to Siri recordings.
