The common concern of all of us, “are we resting?” The concern that smartphones are listening to us is quite common among the public. Are we resting or not resting is a subject of a wide debate, but this error that occurs causes iPhones to be listened to; at least via Siri…
The source of this problem has been identified as the automatic activation of the “Improve Siri and Dictation” option introduced in iOS 15. Accordingly, when this feature is enabled, the conversations of the user with Siri are recorded for analysis purposes. Fortunately, the problem was noticed by Apple before it went too far, and with a new update released, this problem has been eliminated.
Apple, after closing this issue with iOS 15.2 version, with iOS 15.4 version, announced that they stopped the investigation and deleted the audio recordings from all affected devices. However, we leave the answer to the question of whether the emergence of this error should make phone users nervous about the next possible “errors”.
