OpenAI has launched a plug-in that connects ChatGPT to Apple Messages, allowing users to sort, analyze, edit, draft, and send text messages through the chatbot. The plug-in can suggest follow-up messages, delete messages, and search message history, and works with both personal and professional versions of ChatGPT. Privacy concerns arise since users would be sharing their message data with OpenAI, though the company states the plug-in runs locally on users' machines and does not create an index of all messages. OpenAI warns users to review messages before sending and advises against enabling persistent approval to maintain control over what ChatGPT sends on their behalf.
