$100 for Everyone under Apple’s $95 million Siri Settlement – One week left to submit claim

If you’re an Apple user and have been impacted by the “snooping Siri” case, you have only one week left to file your claim for a share of the $95 million settlement.

This settlement comes after Apple was accused of secretly recording user conversations through its Siri voice assistant without consent. Apple settled the case without admitting any wrongdoing.

The lawsuit stems from allegations that Apple’s Siri feature recorded conversations even when users didn’t activate it using the trigger words “Hey, Siri.” Some of these recordings were allegedly shared with advertisers to target users with specific ads.
