ChatGPT Integration Reads and Sends iMessage on MacBooks

news18.com

ChatGPT can now read and send iMessage chats on MacBooks through a new integration, confirmed by Bloomberg this week. OpenAI requires user consent and on-device processing for the feature. The feature is not enabled by default, requiring permissions in both ChatGPT and macOS settings. It uses AppleScript and Accessibility tools to interact with iMessage, needs contact access, and does not create chat indexes. Apple’s approval of this integration is notable given its strict privacy standards. OpenAI assures local operation, but users may question the security of routing personal messages through the AI chatbot.
