Yes, your phone is listening to you

Apple has agreed to a $95 million settlement on a lawsuit alleging that Apple used its digital assistant, Siri, to listen to users.

A judge must approve the settlement this month.

It seems that saying 'Hey Siri' isn't necessary for your phone to listen to conversations. This won't come as too much of a surprise to many people who have noticed that advertisements related to their conversations seem to pop up regularly.

Apple iPhone users could get $20 per Siri device used from September 2014 to December 2024, with a maximum of five devices per user.

This might seem like a lot of money, but Apple is worth more than $3 trillion. The company earns $95 million in about nine hours.
