Apple has launched a meeting notetaker for the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, called Siri Recap. The feature uses ambient listening to take high-level notes of conversations, with Apple Intelligence automatically generating a title, summary, and key points that can be reviewed in the Siri app.
Users can choose to keep Siri Recap always on, set up a schedule, or turn it off completely. The notetaker was introduced alongside other audio intelligence features, including Shazam for instant song identification and Live Rewind, which lets users recap 15 seconds of conversation by double-pressing the digital crown. The Watch can also recognise loud sounds such as sirens, alarms, doorbells, or a baby crying and notify users.
Apple emphasised that the features do not store recordings and that raw audio is inaccessible. Siri Recap does not identify speakers, and Live Rewind recaps are end-to-end encrypted. Despite these guardrails, an always-listening feature will likely raise privacy concerns because Siri Recap may still capture sensitive information in its summaries.
