If you’ve used Siri on any Apple device in the last decade, you might be eligible for a payout.
This comes after Apple agreed to a $95 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit over claims that Siri secretly recorded users’ private conversations.
Users can claim up to $20 (around Rs 1,700) per device, for a maximum of five devices.
If you’ve used Siri on any Apple device in the last decade, you might be eligible for a payout of up to $100 (Rs 8,500). This comes after Apple agreed to a $95 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit over claims that Siri secretly recorded users’ private conversations.
The case, Lopez v. Apple Inc, was filed in December 2023. It accused Apple of allowing Siri to activate unintentionally and record personal conversations without consent. Some users even said they received ads related to things they only discussed privately, like medical treatments or brands they mentioned in casual chats.
While Apple denies doing anything wrong, the company has still agreed to settle the case to avoid a lengthy court battle.
You used any Siri-enabled Apple device between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024.
You experienced at least one unwanted Siri activation during a private or sensitive conversation.
Eligible devices include iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, iMacs, Apple Watches, HomePods, Apple TVs, and iPod touches.
Users can claim up to $20 (around Rs 1,700) per device, for a maximum of five devices — that’s up to $100 (about Rs 8,500). However, the final amount may be less depending on how many people submit valid claims.
