How to Claim Court-Approved Money in the Apple Siri Case? All Explained

If you’ve ever used Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or other Apple devices, you might be part of a class action lawsuit settlement. A recent court case accused Apple of recording users through Siri without their permission — and now, the company has agreed to pay $95 million to settle the case. But how do you claim your share of that money?

Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is the Siri Lawsuit About?

How to Claim Court-Approved Money in the Apple Siri Case? All Explained

In 2019, users filed a lawsuit against Apple, saying that Siri was turning on without permission and recording conversations. These recordings were allegedly heard by contractors, and some included private discussions. Apple denied the claims but agreed to a $95 million settlement to avoid more legal action.

Am I Eligible to Get Money?

To qualify for a payment, you must meet the following conditions:

You lived in the United States during the eligible period.
You owned or used a Siri-enabled Apple device (like an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac).
You used Siri between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024.
You believe that Siri may have turned on and recorded your conversation without your intent, and that information may have been shared with others.

How Much Money Will I Get?

The final amount depends on how many people file a claim. After legal fees are taken out, most eligible users may get around $20. However, this amount can change depending on how many people apply.

How Can I File a Claim?

Wait for the official claim process to start. The court has approved the settlement, but the claim form is not yet available.
If you’re eligible, you may receive a postcard or email with your Claim ID and Confirmation Code.
If you don’t get a mail but believe you qualify, you will still be able to file a claim on the official settlement website once it’s live.
Visit the settlement website (it will be announced soon) and fill out the claim form with your details.

What Should You Do Now?

Stay updated by checking Apple news or class action websites.
Keep your Apple ID and Siri usage details ready.
Watch for an email or letter about the claim.

Final Note

If Siri ever turned on unexpectedly on your device, you may be owed money. While the amount isn’t huge, claiming it is your right. Keep an eye out for updates, and don’t miss the deadline once claims are open.
