Apple can listen to conversations with Siri in order to improve accuracy. Here’s how to stop it happening on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, HomePod & Apple TV.
Can Apple hear my conversations?
No. Apple says that Siri is not eavesdropping at all. Instead, the software’s ability to respond to a voice command is programmed in. So, it’s not really listening at all times.
Is my iPhone recording my conversations?
Apple has admitted that some iPhones have been recording their owners’ interactions with voice assistant Siri, even if instructed not to. This state of affairs was caused by a bug introduced with iOS 15, which automatically enabled the “Improve Siri & Dictation” option.
Are iPhones constantly listening?
The short answer is: No, your phone isn’t listening. But why is this rumor so hard to shake? Like you described, sometimes a company’s ability to show us an ad for something we were just thinking or talking about is totally uncanny.
