ChatGPT can now send texts for you with new Apple Messages plug-in

TechCrunch 1 month ago 2

OpenAI launched an Apple Messages plug-in for ChatGPT that connects a user’s Messages inbox to the chatbot for actions like sorting, analyzing, editing, drafting, and sending messages. The plug-in was released on August 20, 2026 at 3:09 PM PDT. It changes workflows by letting ChatGPT generate and send follow-up texts (and potentially delete or search message history) with local processing, while requiring users to review messages because persistent approval removes their last chance to check before sending.
