Hey Siri has a new functionality in iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus, the Apple company allowing users to activate the personal assistant using only a voice command, without using the Home button.
Practically, whenever you want to use Siri, take the terminal in your hand and say the command Hey Siri, the assistant recognizing it and activating itself, but keeping it permanently in operation and listening to a possible command has attracted some quite serious questions regarding the privacy of users.
Some wonder to what extent iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus they could record everything that happens around them without the users knowing, and that content end up in Apple's servers, or worse, in the US security agencies, the NSA being the most mentioned.
In an attempt to reassure users, the Apple company said that iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus it doesn't record anything around it until users run the command to activate Siri, which is compared to a local recording for a match.
In this idea, Siri locally compares the command received and a recorded one without contacting Apple's servers, so it does not send anything to them until the owner's authorization process has been done and theoretically the world should be safe.
After activating Siri, audio recordings are sent to Apple's servers using secure connections, and each terminal receives a separate identifier that makes it anonymous in front of Apple, but last year it was found that things are not exactly as the company says.
Despite all assurances that Hey Siri is not a spying tool, the NSA could very easily infect iPhone terminals and use this new system to listen to everything that happens around an iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus and they are sure they will.
