BIG LAB UPDATES · 28 OCTOBER 2026
ChatGPT can now read your iCloud Mail and Calendar
OpenAI added separate iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar plugins to ChatGPT on all plans, on the web, desktop and iOS. You connect each one under Settings > Plugins; Mail needs an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address, and you sign in with an Apple app-specific password.
Why it mattersIf you or your clients live in Apple Mail, 'find that invoice email' or 'what's on Thursday?' now works inside ChatGPT. Use a dedicated app-specific password so you can revoke access at any time.
