Apple’s Hey Siri feature which enables hands-free activation of the personal assistant, is tailored to your individual voice, confirms TechCrunch.Users need to manually enable the feature in iOS 9. If you do enable it, Apple promises that “in no case is the device recording what the user says or sending that information to Apple before the feature is triggered.”Audio from the microphone is continuously compared against the ‘personalized’ model/pattern of how you said ‘Hey Siri’ during setup. It’s also compared against the ‘general’ model of how the iPhone thinks it should sound. Apple requires a match to both models to trigger the feature. Until both models are matched, no audio is sent off your iPhone.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
