Apple lets users delete Siri recordings in new iPhone update after apologizing for handling of user data
Summary
Apple released a software update for iPhones on Monday that includes several privacy improvements for Siri, its voice assistant, after a report over the summer drew attention to how Apple handles recordings of user voice data. "This data is not associated with your Apple ID, and will only be stored for a limited period," it continues, over a blue button that gives users an option to "Share Audio Recordings. " A toggle to turn off sharing voice recordings with Apple is located in the Privacy section of the Settings app. As we previously announced, we halted the Siri grading program," Apple said in a statement posted to its website on Aug. 28. Amazon and Google, which have competing voice assistants, both use humans to improve reliability and accuracy as well.
