Your Apple Watch now listens all day to build a daily Siri Recap from the sounds around you. The catch? It actually forgets the audio the moment it understands the context.
Siri RecapAudio Intelligence uses Sound Recognition to identify relevant information from the wearer’s surroundings as events happen. Siri can combine those signals with other available data to summarize the day later.
Sound Recognition can identify events such as sirens, alarms, doorbells, and a crying baby, giving the system potential safety and accessibility uses. A separate Live Rewind feature lets users double-press the Digital Crown to replay the previous 15 seconds of detected audio and view a transcript.
The resulting Siri Recap doesn’t include transcripts of overheard conversations, and Apple says the feature doesn’t store audio. Sound processing happens continuously before the original audio is discarded.
