Siri settlement: How Tennesseans can get up to $100 in Apple class-action lawsuit

“Hey Siri, what’s the weather like today?”

If you’ve asked a question like this on your Apple device in the past decade, you could be entitled to up to $100 from Apple thanks to a class action lawsuit.

A $95 million class action lawsuit, Lopez v. Applewas filed in a California federal court in 2021. The lawsuit accuses the tech company’s famous voice assistant of spying on users by listening to private conversations when Siri was accidentally activated.

Anyone who has owned or used a Siri-enabled Apple device since 2014 may be able to get a portion of the settlement.

“If you owned or purchased a Siri-enabled device and experienced an unintended Siri activation during a confidential or private communication between Sept. 17, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2024, you should read this Notice as it may impact your legal rights,” the legal notice states.
