Apple to add stricter consent for apps seeking full Mac access after Meta’s Muse privacy dispute

Apple said it will introduce additional controls in macOS to ensure users who “genuinely wish to grant an app this extraordinary level of access can only do so with very explicit user action.” The company said in a developer post on October 2. Apple named AI agents as a key reason. It did not say when the controls will roll out, which macOS version will carry them, or which apps prompted the change.
