ChatGPT Mac Update: Apple Messages Integration Arrives

ChatGPT's latest update adds a new Mac integration, allowing it to work with conversations from Apple's Messages app. This feature works across iMessage, SMS, and RCS. The new Apple Messages plugin lets ChatGPT read and search chats on a Mac, and also prepare and send messages. OpenAI states this is available for all plans in the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS, supporting both ChatGPT Work and Codex. OpenAI emphasizes that sending messages requires user approval by default, citing privacy and control questions. Users should be careful before granting persistent approval. The feature currently works only on Apple silicon Macs, not Intel machines. This update could change how users manage their communications directly through a desktop AI assistant.
