STO is a myth, the only way you can trust Apple allegation is if they open the source code of their software. Of course this won’t happen
Yet another “sorry we got caught” scenario
Sorry I’m out of the loop. What did they get caught doing?
Basically, Siri is regularly triggered unintentionally and sends the audio it hears to Apple, despite the voice activation having supposed to be unique to the user’s voice and specific trigger phrase/word. This has resulted in people being recorded in sensitive situations for minutes at a time without their knowledge or consent.
Have you got any references to that?
Another commenter posted an article from over 5 years ago with something close to what you describe, but I don’t think they’d be reacting now to something that happened that long ago.
Yes, that is because this happened back then, but the lawsuit is finally wrapping up. They say they fixed it back then, but funnily enough this happened to me yesterday haha
Ah got it.
What do you mean, happened to you yesterday? What happened exactly?
My wife and I were just chatting and at some point Siri got triggered on her watch. Not sure how long it was on and listening before we noticed. I don’t know, though, they probably no longer send those recording unless subsequent actions are triggered or something, so I’m not worried about it.
