Apple released an iOS 16.1 update recently. The update fixed several bugs in iPhones, out of which SpySiri is the most worrisome. SpySiri can allow a malicious app to hear all of a user’s conversations with Siri, even if the Siri voice control is turned off.
As per reports, it was discovered that a malicious app could use Bluetooth connectivity to listen to and record a user’s conversations with Apple’s voice assistant Siri via connected Apple AirPods or another headset connected to the handset.
