# ChatGPT can now send texts for you with new Apple Messages plugin

If you’ve ever wanted to share all of your digital conversations with OpenAI, we have good news for you: the AI lab has just launched an Apple Messages plugin for ChatGPT, allowing interested users to connect their Messages inbox with the chatbot.

The benefits of doing this, OpenAI argues, are numerous. Users can use the plugin to sort, analyze, or edit their messages directly from ChatGPT. The plugin also works with Codex and ChatGPT Work, so users can use it professionally, not just personally. 

A brief commercial advertising the new plugin shows a user asking the chatbot to suggest follow-up messages to their contacts based on the messages received the previous day.

You can also ask ChatGPT to delete messages for you, draft and send messages on your behalf, or search for information buried deep in your message history.

As with most things related to AI, this new feature raises some privacy questions. OpenAI told Bloomberg that the plugin runs locally on a user’s machine and that it “doesn’t create an index of all someone’s messages.” Still, the specifics of what that means aren’t immediately clear. TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI for more information.

When it comes to message sending, OpenAI encourages users to keep an eye on what ChatGPT is doing and discourages turning on persistent approval, warning that doing so “removes your final chance to review a message before ChatGPT sends it as you,” the company writes.
