Apple begins notifying users about Siri lawsuit settlement claims: Report

Apple agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit that said Siri, its voice assistant, recorded people’s private conversations without permission. Users who qualify can get money for up to five Siri-enabled devices. They can get up to $20 for each device, meaning they could receive up to $100 in total. The final amount may be lower depending on how many people apply. According to a report by AppleInsider, mails are being sent out to consumers.
The email, seen by the publication, reads “Lopez Voice Assistant Class Action Settlement”. It says that the recipient is identified as potentially being a member of the settlement class, based on Apple's records, and is entitled to receive the patent.
To qualify, users must have owned or bought a Siri-enabled device in the U.S. between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024, and believe that Siri recorded their private conversations without permission.

To get the money, users must submit a claim by July 2, 2025. Claims can be filed online or by mail. Users will need a Claim ID and Confirmation Code, which would have been sent to them in the notification email, the report states.
People who did not get a code but believe they qualify can still apply by following special instructions. Consumers also have the option to object to or opt out of the settlement by the same July 2 deadline.
A final court hearing to approve the settlement is set for August 1, 2025.

While the iPhone-maker has agreed to settle the lawsuit, Apple still denies the allegations. The lawsuit settlement, the company says, is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing, says the settlement notice.
