Starting with iOS 27, released September 14, Apple will ask Siri users to opt in to sharing their conversations, including audio recordings, to improve its AI models. Apple also quietly updated its privacy guidelines to remove its previous guarantee, raising concerns alongside new Apple Watch features that permanently listen and summarize daily conversations.
