As of 2022, Siri is not listening to your conversations all the time. The voice assistant technology is always waiting for its trigger phrase, which is “Hey Siri” or something similar. When it hears this phrase, it will start recording and processing the request. However, until it hears the trigger phrase, it will not record or process any audio.
This is an important distinction to make, as many people are concerned about the privacy implications of having a voice assistant always listening. While it is true that Siri is always listening for its trigger phrase, it is not actively recording or processing audio until it hears it.
This is a great step forward in terms of privacy, as it means that Siri is not constantly listening in on conversations and recording them. It also means that users can feel more secure in the knowledge that their conversations are not being recorded and stored without their knowledge.
However, it is important to note that Siri is still able to access and process data from other sources. For example, it can access your calendar, contacts, and other data stored on your device. It can also access data from third-party services, such as weather and news services.
Overall, as of 2022, Siri is not eavesdropping on your conversations. It is always listening for its trigger phrase, but it does not record or process any audio until it hears it. This is a great step forward in terms of privacy, and it means that users can feel more secure in the knowledge that their conversations are not being recorded and stored without their knowledge.
