How to Delete Siri History from iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and HomePod

Whether in the form of friends or family, but we do love having some company around, right? Isn’t it a great feeling having to know somebody is out there who will gladly listen to all our talks and insane thoughts without passing judgment? Yes, deep down, we all crave to experience this!

And just like how our life is incomplete without our friends and near ones, digital assistants fill this space by acting as our most loved companion to hang around. Digital voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Home are surprisingly a crucial part of our lives who not just entertain us 24×7, but also help us in getting things done faster and in a smarter way of course.

We can ask almost anything to Siri, whether it’s about the current weather update, score from last night’s baseball match, list of top ten Chinese restaurants in your nearest range to almost anything. With the help of our voice commands, you can get answers to everything without touching the phone screen.

Why Do Digital Assistants Store Our Conversations?

Be it Siri or any other digital assistant, but all the queries or voice commands or the things that you say are stored at a secure location. Apple uses this data for further assessment and a better understanding so that they can improve our experience of using voice assistants. Apple uses this data to evaluate and interpret voice commands, requests and all sorts of things that we ask Siri as a quality control measure.

Luckily, all your Siri recordings are securely stored on Apple servers and this private information cannot be accessed by any third-party marketers or for promotional purposes.

But glad enough, iOS 13.2 which happens to be the latest version of iOS allows you to delete all your Siri recordings from iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV from Apple servers. So, precisely iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, tvOS 13.2, and macOS Catalina 10.15.1 and later offers us an option where we can delete Siri recordings and dictation interaction history from Apple servers.
