Apple Settles Siri Snooping Case for $95M and You Could Get a Payout

The Siri class action lawsuit claiming Apple's personal digital assistant recorded users without consent has been settled and the form to claim your own cash for damages is now online.

The Lopez v. Apple Inc. case was initially filed in a federal court in California on March 17, 2021. The case is now ready for claimants to file their own claim, with payouts capping at $20 per Siri device owned or purchased.

"If you owned or purchased a Siri-enabled device and experienced an unintended Siri activation during a confidential or private communication between September 17, 2014 and December 31, 2024, you should read this Notice as it may impact your legal rights," says the website with the claim form.

The site says the settlement has been reached, with Apple denying all the allegations made in the lawsuit and that it did anything improper or unlawful.

The settlement itself allows for $95 million fund to pay out US claimants who can show they've had an "unintended Siri activation" during a call that had private info in it.

If your claim is accepted, you can get up to $20 per Siri device you own, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The $95 million will be split across all the valid claims submitted, up to the cap, so you might receive less than $20 per device, depending on how many people's claims are accepted.

If you got an email or postcard with a Claim Identification Code and Confirmation Code about the settlement, use those codes when you make a claim, says the site. If you didn't receive correspondence, then you can still get in on the settlement via the Submit a Claim page.

The deadline for submitting a claim is July 2, 2025, and the final approval hearing is set for August 1, 2025.
