OpenAI's ChatGPT gains iMessage control, raising Apple privacy questions

thestar.com.my

OpenAI launched ChatGPT support for controlling Apple's iMessage on Aug 20, potentially raising privacy concerns for the iPhone maker. The Mac feature lets ChatGPT read, write, send, and summarize messages from Apple's Messages app. OpenAI requires user consent, runs locally, and uses system tools, but users must enable Full Disk Access, prompting questions about data uploads to OpenAI's network. Apple, a privacy advocate, has not commented. The integration follows Apple's July lawsuit against OpenAI over alleged product information theft. It also competes with Apple's upcoming Siri AI and contrasts with Apple's past blocking of similar services like Beeper Mini.
