That’s not new though, it also listens for Hey Siri all the time like all modern Apple devices have been doing for years. You can also still turn it off if it’s your own watch.
Keeping a transcript is definitely new behavior. Siri didn't keep 7 days of anything.
The comment I replied to said it was different from recording audio because when recording, they can tell it when to record instead of listening all the time, so that’s the only part I’m arguing with.
In this regard nothing changed:
I feel like half this thread doesn’t understand what their devices are doing. Latching on to a new way in which it can record all the time, while dismissing all the existing ways it can already record all the time. How are you going to protect yourself from anything if you can only recognize this when there’s something like a transcript that you can see that makes it super obvious? Most people here are probably already carrying two or three devices around that can record them but just don’t produce a transcript.
