**CUPERTINO, CA –** Apple users have eight weeks to claim their share of a $95 million settlement stemming from a class-action lawsuit over unauthorized Siri recordings. The settlement, finalized in January 2025, resolves allegations that Apple violated users’ privacy by capturing private conversations unintentionally activated by its Siri voice assistant between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024.
Eligible users can submit claims online until July 2nd, 2025. The payout is capped at $20 per device, with a maximum of five devices per claim (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod, iPod touch, and Apple TV). Claimants must attest under oath that Siri was unintentionally activated on each device.
The lawsuit, filed in 2019, alleged Apple shared these recordings with third-party contractors for quality control purposes without user consent. While Apple denied allowing advertisers to target users based on this data, the company issued a formal apology and ceased retaining user recordings.
Those who previously received a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code are being notified, but anyone believing they are eligible can submit a claim. For more information and to submit a claim, visit [Insert website address here – this would be included in the actual news article].
