Apple agrees to pay $95 million to settle lawsuit over Siri allegedly snooping on conversations

Apple agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of using its virtual assistant Siri snoop on people's conversations on the iPhone, iPad and other devices, according to a proposed settlement in federal court in Oakland, California.

The lawsuit, initially filed 5 years ago, alleged that Siri recorded conversations for more than 10 years through Apple devices even if the words, "Hey, Siri" were not spoken. 

The lawsuit alleged that some of these recordings were given to advertisers to help sell their products to consumers who would likely be interested them based on the conversations picked up by Siri.

Apple hasn't acknowledged any wrongdoing in the settlement and a proposed hearing is scheduled in Oakland for Feb. 14. The settlement still has to be approved by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White.
