ChatGPT on Mac Can Now Read and Respond to Apple iMessages

engadget.com

OpenAI has launched a plugin enabling ChatGPT on Mac to read and respond to Apple iMessages, raising privacy and security concerns. It is currently available only to ChatGPT Work and Codex users. The plugin allows users to search messages and draft replies through the chatbot. OpenAI demonstrated asking ChatGPT to find missed conversations and send a response. The feature is opt-in, requiring users to grant permissions. Users must enable Full Disk Access and give ChatGPT access to contacts and automation tools during setup. Bloomberg notes this process makes accidental installation unlikely, but the broad access raises potential data risks.
