Apple users urged to claim part of $95,000,000 Siri settlement as deadline for payout fast approaches

Make sure you don't miss out on making your claim

Apple users are being urged to file a claim in a $95 million Siri settlement as the deadline fast approaches.

In 2011, Apple devices featured a voice assistant designed to help with everything from checking the weather to controlling calls and setting reminders. But while it’s meant to make life more convenient, many users were unsettled to learn it may have been listening in when it shouldn’t have been.

Now, a class-action lawsuit is giving users a chance to claim compensation.

Eligible members who have already received a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code are currently being notified, letting them know they might qualify for a payout. But even if you didn't get one, applications can be submitted by anyone who believes they’re eligible.

The settlement resolves a five-year-long class action lawsuit accusing the Siri voice assistant of recording and sharing private conversations without users' consent. The deadline to submit a claim in the $95 million Siri settlement is only six weeks from the cut-off date on 2 July.

Several Siri-enabled devices were prone to the unintentional activation, which led to voice recordings being shared with third parties like advertisers, claimants allege.

To be eligible for compensation, users must believe that Siri was unintentionally triggered on their devices between 17 September 2014 and 31 December 2024, and that those activations may have recorded private or confidential conversations.

Claims can be filed for up to five Siri-enabled devices, including their iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, HomePod, iPod touch, or Apple TV, so long as the user confirms under oath that Siri was accidentally activated on each one. Those who qualify can submit a claim on the dedicated Lopez v. Apple Inc. website and follow the steps for a New Claim.

Payouts could reach up to $20 per device (which is $100 total per person), though the final amount will depend on the number of valid claims and any deductions for legal fees, administrative costs, and service awards.

The tech giant has denied any wrongdoing in the case but agreed to the $95 million settlement to avoid ongoing legal battles and put the Siri-related issues behind them.

The lawsuit dates back to 2019, when it was revealed that Apple had employed human contractors to listen to Siri recordings as part of its AI quality checks. In January 2025, the company agreed to pay $95 million out to affected users to resolve the matter.
