Learn how to prevent Apple from recording, collecting, and reviewing audio recordings from Siri on your iPhone and iPad. This optional privacy feature allows you to disable Siri audio for easy analysis.
Instructions to Disable Siri Audio Storage & Collection:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Go to “Privacy”.
- Select “Analytics and Enhancements”.
- Look for the option “Improve Siri and Dictation” and disable it.
Once this feature is turned off, Apple will no longer record and review the audio of Siri and Dictation interactions on your device. Note that you can also delete existing Siri recordings from Apple servers separately if desired.
These settings apply to each individual iPhone or iPad, so you’ll need to adjust them for each device if you own multiple. If you rarely use Siri, you can consider turning off Siri on your devices, but this guide focuses on disabling audio recording storage and collection.
It’s important to mention that the ability to manage Siri’s audio history and recording review was introduced in iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2, so make sure your device is updated to these versions or later.
