Details

OpenAI has added an Apple Messages plugin to the ChatGPT Mac desktop app. This feature allows users to read, search, compose, and send messages via iMessage, SMS, and RCS chats.

The feature is supported across all plans, including ChatGPT Work and Codex. By default, messages are sent only after the user approves the recipient and content, and it works exclusively on Apple silicon Macs.

The plugin runs locally and leverages macOS system technologies such as AppleScript and Accessibility. Data resides on the user's Mac and is accessed only when permissions are granted. OpenAI notes a known issue where confirmation dialogs may not appear for tasks with approval prompts disabled.
