- Published
- Record updated
Summary
Apple has announced tighter Full Disk Access controls in macOS, citing the risks from increasingly capable AI agents. Full Disk Access, introduced in macOS Mojave (10.14), lets an application read or modify protected files, including mail, messages and browsing history. Apple will add controls so apps receive this access only with the user's explicit consent, but it did not say when the controls will roll out.
