ChatGPT Mac Plugin: Reads & Sends Texts on Apple Silicon

ChatGPT can now read and send text messages directly from your Mac. This new plugin is available in the ChatGPT desktop app for Mac, allowing it to access iMessage, SMS, and RCS chats. Here's the thing: the plugin works within Codex and ChatGPT Work plans, but not standard ChatGPT chats. It's also exclusive to Apple silicon Macs, meaning Intel Macs are not supported. What's interesting is that while it can draft messages, you typically need to approve them before they are sent. However, there's a setting to always allow sending to specific chats, which OpenAI's guide advises against for security reasons. There's also a known issue where send confirmations might not appear if full access is granted. The bottom line: this integration aims to streamline your messaging, but it's important to understand its limitations and security recommendations.
