The story so far

TechCrunch’s Sarah Perez found Apple’s Siri Recaps useful for retrieving practical details from conversations, but said recording and summarizing them felt unsettling. After a day testing the feature on Apple Watch, she noted it captured car repair costs and timing alongside household plans and casual remarks. Perez suggested keeping separate notes, making recaps easier to edit, and exporting them automatically to Apple Notes. These are her recommendations based on the test; she said the feature’s value may outweigh its creepiness, but the mix of useful details and incidental remarks raised privacy concerns.
