It’s the stuff of sci-fi nightmares - finding out that your smartphone has become sentient and it starts answering back.

Well, according to one iPhone user, that idea isn’t so far fetched after they shared a spooky moment they had with their device.

They claimed that the phone ‘spoke out loud’ to them and asked an eerie question.

Recalling the experience in a Reddit post, the person claimed that a man’s voice spoke out of the phone and it has left people freaked out.

Writing on social media, the user claimed: “My phone said ‘oh s*** what’s going on.’ in a man’s voice.

“There was no apps in use and it did not sound like Siri. My wife heard it as well so I am not hallucinating. Has this happened to anybody else? I tried posting this over on r/iOSbeta but they didn’t allow my post.”

The user explained that they have an iPhone 15 Plus which was using the latest public beta operating system.

They went on to add: “I think I heard the sound the phone makes when you place it on its side while charging although it was not on its side.”

The revelation has definitely got people creeped out, with many taking to the comment section to share their own strange experiences with their gadgets.

One person said: “My Google Home Mini had a string of spooky statements come out of nowhere. It once spoke aloud my home address, unprompted by anything at all. And in the middle of the night it just said ‘I’m always learning’. I unplugged that b**** right then.”

Another wrote: “My AirPods have been saying ‘fair enough to stop recording and save his life’ at random times. It’s been like a month since it started and I haven’t been able to find what’s triggering it, but they make the connection noise and then read that with the read text voice.”

A third joked, “FBI interns f***ed up” and another added, “Your phone gained consciousness”.

However, not everyone was so spooked, with one person offering up some practical and comforting advice, they said: “Sometimes when a device boots up for the first time screen reader will be enabled by default for accessibility purposes. So the system voice will read the messages shown on the screen.

“Typically this is setup instructions or instructions on how to turn off the screen reader. Perhaps sometimes the screen contains other things such as SMS notifications containing a message, or artifacts present on the screen from a previous crash.”
