OpenAI iMessage Plugin: Disable Persistent Approval Now

OpenAI has launched a new iMessage plugin but is warning users to disable "persistent approval." This setting allows the AI to send messages without your review. OpenAI advises keeping per-send approval for chats that might contain untrusted or misleading instructions. They explain that persistent approval removes your final chance to review a message before the AI sends it as you. They recommend using it only if you accept that risk. This feature is currently available for the desktop ChatGPT app on MacBook. To restore per-send approval, users can go into the ChatGPT desktop app settings, choose "Computer use," then "Manage" next to "Messages," and remove chats from the "Always allowed to send" section. This simple step can prevent potential problems.
