Summary
Apple says it is changing its macOS privacy settings to stop third-party app developers from misusing them to access message histories. Friday’s announcement comes two weeks after tech columnist Jason Aten said that Meta’s new general-purpose AI agent Muse sent him an unsolicited notification referencing a thread between him and a co-worker over Apple Messages. Meta CTO David Singleton joined the fray with a rebuttal that appeared solid. “The Messages integration in the Muse Mac app is opt in,” Singleton said. Earlier this week, the reporter spoke to macOS security expert Patrick Wardle, who questioned Singleton’s denial.
