On October 27, OpenAI published a blog post opening two plugins, iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar, to all ChatGPT plan users, covering consumer plans such as Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and supporting the web, desktop, and iOS versions.

AppleInsider noted that the update has sparked discussion on privacy and competition, and that sensitive account, travel, financial, and work information in emails has made permission boundaries and data processing methods a focus of user concern.

Regarding the applicable user groups, OpenAI officially announced that it applies to all ChatGPT plan users, covering consumer plans such as Free, Go, Plus, and Pro. Regarding the applicable platforms, it includes the web version, desktop version, and iOS version of the ChatGPT app.
In terms of functionality, OpenAI stated that after user authorization, ChatGPT can read and check the iCloud inbox, create and manage emails, and, based on information such as meetings, flights, and schedules in emails, directly create or update events in Apple Calendar.
For iPhone, iPad, and Mac users, ChatGPT can participate more deeply in daily affairs: for example, identifying meeting times from emails and automatically creating calendar events, organizing itineraries, drafting replies, or reminding about to-dos. OpenAI stated that this move significantly improves ChatGPT's compatibility with iCloud Mail and Apple Calendar.
The tech media outlet AppleInsider pointed out that this update has also sparked discussions on privacy and competition. Users need to explicitly authorize ChatGPT to access email and calendar; emails often contain sensitive account, itinerary, financial, and work information, so permission boundaries and data processing methods will become the issues of greatest concern to ordinary users.
