OpenAI rolls out support that lets ChatGPT control Apple’s iMessage service on the Mac, including reading and writing messages and sending texts. Multiple outlets report the change is introduced as a new ChatGPT capability and is available in the Mac version.
The announcement is expected to raise privacy questions for Apple, since iMessage is an Apple service used by customers to communicate. Bloomberg and the Japan Times say the feature could prompt scrutiny over how message data is handled and whether customer information might be uploaded or processed through OpenAI systems. NDTV similarly describes the actions ChatGPT can perform within iMessage.
Gizmodo adds that Apple may respond skeptically, pointing to the fact that Apple is suing OpenAI, which could shape how Apple evaluates the integration. Across outlets, the main difference is emphasis: some focus on data-handling and potential privacy implications, while one highlights the existing legal dispute between Apple and OpenAI.
