It is Apple’s policy to protect its customers’ privacy, which is one of its most significant selling points. As a matter of fact, it portrayed itself as championing privacy in general. We regard privacy as a human right-it’s a civil liberty, said Apple CEO Tim Cook in an interview with MSNBC in 2018 while criticizing companies such as Facebook for poor privacy practices. In July 2019, a whistleblower revealed that Apple contractors who worked on improving the accuracy of Siri were able to listen in on conversations that were accidentally recorded by the voice assistant. It is understandable that people are concerned that Siri is listening to everything we say and somehow reporting it back to Apple. We should be concerned about what happens to our data. As an example, you may see an advertisement for a pizza restaurant if you speak about ordering pizza. We believe that Apple would never sell our data in this way, although we can imagine such a scenario with some of Apple’s competitors. One of the greatest concerns was that the say “Hey Siri” request wasn’t the only one being listened to. It’s possible for devices with Siri to be accidentally triggered. For example, maybe you raise your Apple watch to activate Siri or maybe your HomePod hears someone mention Syria on TV, and Siri will record your conversation and send it to Apple for review. The good news is that you are now able to opt out of providing recordings, as well as stop Siri from listening to your conversations. Below we will explain how to turn off Siri’s listening.
