American technology giant Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a class-action lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant technology "Siri" violated users' privacy.

SIRI SHARED CONVERSATIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES

The preliminary agreement, which must be approved by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White of the Northern District of California, was submitted to the federal court in Oakland. The lawsuit was filed on the grounds that "Siri" could be activated unintentionally and that conversations recorded without users' consent were shared with third parties.

APPLE HAS AGREED TO PAY $95 MILLION

Despite denying the allegations, Apple has opted to settle and agreed to pay $95 million. If the settlement is approved, users of devices with "Siri" may receive up to $20 per device. The settlement will cover users in the U.S. who own Siri-enabled iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, iMacs, HomePods, iPod touches, or Apple TVs between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024. The voice assistant technology "Siri" was first introduced in the iPhone 4S models released in 2011. The "Hey Siri" feature, which allows users to activate "Siri" hands-free, was introduced in 2014.
