Apple's iOS 27 setup now asks people enabling Siri AI whether to share text and audio interactions to improve Siri and Apple Intelligence, according to 9to5Mac.

The new choice expands the stated use of opted-in Siri, Dictation and Translate data to training and refining Apple Foundation Models; users who previously opted in are asked again when enabling Siri AI. Apple says the information is linked to a rotating device-generated identifier rather than an Apple Account or email address, and says it is not used for marketing profiles or sold.
