Apple changes full-disk access permissions to curb abuse from AI agents
Ars Technica 1 week ago 28 ● 3 sources
Apple changed macOS privacy settings to prevent third-party developers from misusing full-disk access to reach message histories. The move came about two weeks after Jason Aten reported that Meta’s AI agent Muse sent an unsolicited notification referencing a Messages thread. Going forward, those permissions will be constrained so apps can’t access message history via the prior configuration unless users explicitly configure access through the intended settings.
