A
pple revealed in August 2019 that it was allowing
contractors to listen to the voice recordings of Siri
users. After it came to light, Apple apologised and
explained that it granted such permission in order to grade
Siri requests so that it could make future improvements to
its service. Even so, it proved alarming.
The audio included confidential information captured
when Siri was accidentally activated so Apple promised
it would make changes to the system. Sure enough, with
iOS 13.2, it added a new option that allows you to request
that Siri audio is deleted from Apple’s servers. Regardless
of how security-conscious you are, we would recommend
that everyone uses this option as there is really no reason
why other people should be allowed to listen to what you
ask of Siri. The decision to opt in and allow recordings to
be stored is now yours to make and in this tutorial we look
at how you can do both.Remove your audio history and don’t allow your Siri
audio to be shared with Apple02
