Apple has agreed to a $95 million (₹815 crores) settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit filed in Oakland, California, regarding its voice assistant, Siri, which allegedly recorded users' private conversations without consent.

While Apple denies any wrongdoing, the proposed settlement requires judicial approval and mandates the deletion of all relevant audio recordings obtained before October 2019.
