OpenAI adds Apple Messages plugin letting ChatGPT manage your texts

OpenAI has introduced an Apple Messages plugin that connects the ChatGPT interface to a user's iMessage history. The integration allows users to ask the model to sort conversations, pull out information, draft replies, send messages, or delete texts, with the same capability extending to Codex and ChatGPT Work for business use. A short commercial demonstrates the bot suggesting follow-up messages based on recent chats.

OpenAI told one outlet the plugin operates locally and does not create an index of all messages, though the exact implications remain unclear. The firm cautions users to keep an eye on the bot's actions and recommends disabling persistent approval, noting that enabling it removes the final chance to review a message before it is sent. One outlet has reached out for additional details.
