A new plug-in connects the app to Apple Messages, letting you ask it to draft and send texts for you.

You can now connect your Messages app directly to ChatGPT. This lets the AI read your recent conversations and suggest or even send replies for you.

The feature is available as a new plug-in, but be mindful of privacy, as it requires giving the app access to your texts.

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