Apple has denied any wrongdoing but filed a preliminary settlement in the Oakland, California federal court on Tuesday.

The proposed lawsuit claimed that Apple’s devices recorded private conversations after users unintentionally activated Siri.

Siri presenting ‘Go ahead, I’m listening’ in text on iPhone screen.

These conversations were then passed on to advertisers.

The settlement still requires approval, but could potentially mean a payout for tens of millions of Apple users.

The settlement will cover any customer using a Siri-enabled product in the time period mentioned above.
