On iOS or iPadOS, open Settings, head to Apple Intelligence & Siri, then tap Talk & Type to Siri: Turn on the Type to Siri toggle switch, and you can then double tap at the very bottom of the screen to launch the typing interface, no matter which app you’re in. Siri will respond with text too.

A suit said unintentional Siri sessions were recorded and sold to advertisers. Apple denied that but agreed to a settlement you might be able to share in.

Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose. We are constantly developing technologies to make Siri even more private, and will continue to do so.

If you've felt like Siri was listening to you, you may qualify for a settlement from a class action lawsuit against Apple. Here's what to know.

Apple said Wednesday its virtual personal assistant Siri protects users data privacy on their devices and does not send user information to marketers.

Apple denied its digital voice assistant Siri poses any privacy concerns — one week after it agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit tied to the software tool.

Apple has affirmed its Siri privacy policies following a lawsuit settlement that revived rumors that the voice assistant was spying on users. "Apple has never used Siri data to build marketing profiles, never made it available for advertising, and never sold it to anyone for any purpose," said a statement published on Wednesday.

Apple is preparing to pay $95 million to settle a five-year-old lawsuit that alleges the iPhone maker infringed on the privacy of Siri users.

An Apple spokesperson told Tom's Guide that Siri had never been used to build marketing profiles or sell information. The spokesperson stated that "Apple settled this case to avoid additional litigation so we can move forward from concerns about third-party grading that we already addressed in 2019."

Apple reminds us of its strong privacy commitment for Siri, saying voice data isn't used for ads ahead of a crucial Apple Intelligence update.

Apple wants to make it clear that it did not sell any collected data via Siri, after settling for $95 million in a class action suit.

In addition, Apple introduces Visual Intelligence, which works similarly to Google Lens but with extra functionality. By pointing your iPhone’s camera at an object, you can ask Siri questions about it, providing instant context or answers about things like landmarks, plants, or everyday items.
