ChatGPT now integrates with apple messages for enhanced communication features

OpenAI has introduced a new Apple Messages plug-in for ChatGPT, enabling users to connect their Messages inbox with the chatbot. This integration allows users to sort, analyze, and edit their messages directly through ChatGPT, with additional support for Codex and ChatGPT Work for professional use. The plug-in also lets users request follow-up messages, delete messages, draft and send messages on their behalf, or search through their message history. OpenAI emphasized that the plug-in operates locally on the user’s device and does not create an index of all messages, though the specifics of this claim remain unclear. The company also advises users to monitor ChatGPT’s actions and avoid enabling persistent approval, which would remove the final review step before sending messages. In a separate development, a flash sale is currently offering $100 off Disrupt 2026 tickets, with a $300 discount available for a limited time. TechCrunch has contacted OpenAI for further clarification on the privacy implications of the new feature.
