ChatGPT Integrates with Apple Messages on Mac
OpenAI has released a new update integrating ChatGPT with Apple Messages on Mac computers, giving users unprecedented ability to manage digital conversations more efficiently through artificial intelligence.
Smart Conversation Management
This new integration allows users to search through iMessage, SMS, and RCS history directly via a dedicated plugin on macOS, with the ability to summarize long content to extract key points quickly. AI can also draft smart replies and send them, defaulting to user approval before sending to ensure privacy, with an option to grant permanent permission for recurring chats to streamline the experience.
Technical Requirements and Context
This feature is currently limited to Macs with Apple Silicon chips and operates within ChatGPT Work and Codex, without support for other devices or mobile versions, reflecting a deep partnership between technology and AI. These developments come amid a global tech race to embed digital assistants into core operating systems, boosting user productivity and fundamentally changing how people interact with emails and daily messages.
Additionally, the platform now allows sharing read-only copies of conversations via links, with automatic synchronization of pinned chats between computer and phone when using the same account, creating a seamless, integrated work environment for users.

A temporary charging cap is applied during transport and removed after the first power‑on, allowing the full battery capacity of roughly 21.7 Wh (U.S. model) or 21.1 Wh (EU model). The limit is enforced in the U.S. since 2025, while other international bodies have not issued clear guidance.
