Apple clarified on Wednesday that it has never sold the data collected by its Siri voice assistant or used it to create marketing profiles, just days after settling a case in which it faced such accusations.

A class action suit contends that Siri recorded and shared Apple users' conversations - and Google is under fire, too.

Apple has responded to the class action lawsuit filed against it that alleges that the company recorded and sold user conversations with Siri to advertisers.

Apple has decided to settle a five-year-old class action lawsuit accusing the company of using Siri to eavesdrop on conversations — and millions of iPhone users could soon qualify for a portion of the payout.

The suit claims Siri can be accidentally activated and then record parts of people's conversations without their consent.

Apple has agreed to pay $95m (£77m) to settle a court case alleging some of its devices were listening to people without their permission. The tech giant was accused of eavesdropping on its customers through its virtual assistant Siri.
