Apple confirmed the existence of the program, called "grading," and said it was part of its quality control for Siri.
Now, however, TechCrunch reports Apple will be suspending the program globally.
“While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally. Additionally, as part of a future software update, users will have the ability to choose to participate in grading," the company said in a statement to the outlet.
The "grading" practice is extremely worrying from a user privacy perspective. The anonymous whistleblower who'd described the process to The Guardian said that even though his task was to focus on technical problems and not contents of the conversations themselves, it "wouldn't be difficult to identify the person you're listening to."
Apple defended the program, saying it looks at less than 1 percent of daily Siri conversations, and that its contractors are under strict confidentiality agreements.
And Apple doesn't seem to be giving up on the program entirely -- the wording of the company's statement suggests the program would be opt-in for participants.
There's no word on when, exactly, the program would be reinstated.

Just yesterday, in fact, Google said it would stop the practice for three months in the EU, under pressure from German data regulator.
