Apple's Siri Recap Needs Your Opt-In, Skips The EU At Launch
Apple requires an iPhone 16 or later paired with Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4, and syncs summaries through iCloud encryption.
- Siri Recap launches in beta late 2026, English only, absent from the European Union entirely.
- Users toggle it in Control Center and can restrict notes to specific places or hours.
- Raw audio is deleted after processing, but the resulting transcript syncs end-to-end encrypted via iCloud.
Why it matters: The company that captures the audio is also the only party who can confirm it was destroyed.
