Eligible Apple customers can now apply for their share of a $95 million Siri snooping payout. A website has been set up to distribute the funds, allowing Apple device owners in the US who experienced an unintended Siri activation during private conversations between September 17th, 2014, and December 31st, 2024, to submit a claim.

The payout is related to a 2019 class action lawsuit that alleged Apple was infringing its users’ privacy by capturing conversations overheard by its Siri voice assistant without consent, passing the recordings to third-party quality control contractors. Apple offered a formal apology and pledged it would no longer retain user recordings, but pushed back against additional allegations that it allowed advertisers to target consumers based on Siri recording data. In January 2025, the company agreed to pay $95 million out to impacted users to settle the case.

Applications are open until July 2nd, 2025. Claims can be submitted for up to five Siri-enabled devices, including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod, iPod touch, and Apple TV, provided the user swears under oath that the voice assistant was unintentionally activated on each device. If approved, settlement payouts are capped at $20 per device.

Eligible Apple device owners who already received a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code are in the process of being notified about the settlement, but applications can be submitted by anyone who believes they’re eligible, regardless of whether they received a claim notice.
