We are all fond of how easy it is to ask Siri to set a timer, play music, or dictate a short text with a finger movement. It feels smooth but almost magical. But have you ever asked yourself how Siri is intelligent enough to improve over time?
The answer can be found in a setting called ‘Improve Siri and Dictation’. When turned on, Apple can save and review small snippets of your voice-to-voice interactions. These audios are useful to improve Siri, Dictation, and even Translate. Apple confirms to users that the clips are not linked with your Apple ID, but are tagged with random identifiers. However, the idea of your conversations being stored for up to two years may create some privacy concerns.
You can easily disable this if you want to keep your interactions private.

That’s it, your voice snippets will not be stored or reviewed anymore.
Turning off this feature ensures that your Siri requests and dictation entries remain in your phone and are not sent to Apple for review. You will still enjoy Siri’s features like sending texts, checking the weather, and setting reminders.
