OpenAI has added a new plugin that integrates ChatGPT with Apple Messages on Mac computers [^1].

The release enables the chatbot to search, summarize, draft, and send conversations from Apple's Messages app on Macs [^4].

OpenAI stated that the system will only send text messages once a user explicitly approves them [^2].

Neither Apple nor OpenAI notifies the other person in a conversation that their messages are being accessed, and there is no way for them to revoke this access [^5].
