> New plugins on every ChatGPT plan connect to Apple’s mail and calendar using an app-specific password. That is a standard Apple mechanism, but it hands over broad access, so it is worth knowing how to revoke it.

OpenAI added iCloud Mail and iCloud Calendar plugins to ChatGPT on 27 October. They are available on all plans, on the web, on desktop and on iOS.

## What they do

With the Calendar plugin, ChatGPT can read, schedule and change events that appear in the iPhone’s Calendar app or any other app that uses iCloud Calendar. With the Mail plugin, it can search and read your iCloud Mail, manage messages and drafts, send email and look up your iCloud contacts. MacRumors notes that iCloud access can also be used by Dots, the proactive agent OpenAI launched in September.

The plugins only work with Apple’s own addresses, ending in @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com. ChatGPT cannot see other accounts you have added to the iPhone’s Mail app, such as Gmail or Outlook.

## The app-specific password

To connect, you create an app-specific password for each plugin. Apple designed these so that apps from other developers never see your real Apple Account password. You need two-factor authentication turned on, and you can have up to 25 at once.

The trade-off is that such a password gives broad access to your mail, contacts or calendar, and an AI agent with it can act, not just read. If you try the plugins, keep two of Apple’s rules in mind: you can revoke any app-specific password individually from your Apple Account settings, and changing your main Apple Account password revokes all of them at once. If you stop using ChatGPT’s plugins, revoke the password rather than just disconnecting.
