About two weeks ago I told you that Siri will listen even when you have sex, the Apple company letting employees listen to these recordings. It's all part of the process of improving the answers that the personal assistant gives to users, and Apple is not the only company doing this.
Because people complained a lot about this practice, Apple made the decision to stop allowing employees to monitor these recordings. Apple says that it has globally stopped the process of analyzing the recordings taken from the commands given to Siri, but it does not say that it will also delete the recordings it already has, these being kept on its servers for 6 months.
"We are committed to providing a great Siri experience while protecting user privacy. While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally. Additionally, as part of a future software update, users will be able to choose to participate in the ranking.”
Apple will implement in a new update for iOS a function that will allow users to prevent the sending of recordings to the company. This option should be activated by default, and people should deactivate it only if they want to have the commands listened to, but of course it won't happen like that.
