Well, this seems interesting. ChatGPT’s latest update adds a new Mac integration: the ability to work with conversations from Apple’s Messages app. The feature works with iMessage, SMS, and RCS.
ChatGPT for Mac now includes an Apple Messages plugin
The new Apple Messages plugin lets ChatGPT read and search chats on a Mac, and prepare and send messages. OpenAI says it is available across all plans in the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS, with support in both ChatGPT Work and Codex.
That access raises privacy and control questions, so OpenAI stresses that sending remains gated by user approval under the default settings. Users should take care before granting persistent approval. OpenAI’s plugin guide details the risks, how to revoke access, and a known issue involving tasks that disable approval prompts.
We've added native integration with iMessage, so ChatGPT can now send & read messages for you!
It can also analyze your messages! It's really fun to get insights about who you talk to, and what you talk to people about.
