If you’re in the U.S. and have utilized a device with Siri capabilities between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, you could qualify for a share of a $95 million settlement from Apple.
A class-action
lawsuit
filed against Apple in 2019 claimed the iPhone maker was using Siri to record users’ conversations without consent. Apple settled the case earlier this year
for $95 million
without admitting any wrongdoing.
Now, a notice approved by the US District Court for the Northern District of California is being sent to affected parties. At least three Dailyexestaffers have received it; check your inbox for an email with the subject line: “Lopez Voice Assistant Class Action Settlement.” (Fumiko Lopez is one of the plaintiffs.)
If you qualify, you have the option to file a claim.

. Click “Submit Claim” and enter the identification ID and confirmation code written on top of your notice. You can submit claims for up to five Siri-supported devices by July 2, 2025, and receive a payout of up to $20 per device. The court will reveal the final approved amount on Aug. 1.
If you haven’t gotten the notification yet but think you might have been impacted by Siri’s privacy breach, go ahead and click “Submit Claim” on the site and choose “New Claim.” Should you be uncertain or require additional information regarding the compensation, feel free to do so as well.

Keep in mind that submitting a claim means you cannot sue Apple for problems “stemming from or connected to the matters covered in this case.” If you prefer to pursue additional legal action, you have the option to exclude yourself from the settlement.
Apple, meanwhile, has other Siri-related problems on its hands. At least
three lawsuits
legal actions have been initiated alleging misconduct by Apple
false advertising
concerning Apple’s AI capabilities, including the postponed release of an enhanced version of Siri.
