OpenAI has expanded ChatGPT dot access to iMessage and RCS, allowing users to interact with their dot directly from the Messages app. Previously, the proactive agent feature was limited to the ChatGPT app on mobile, desktop, and web. Now, users can send text, photos, or voice notes to their dot and receive proactive updates. This expansion may also enable official Apple Watch integration and new voice capabilities beyond the built-in calling feature.
To set it up, tap your dot’s profile and select 'Texting'. Your dot retains the same context and plugins across platforms. This does not grant OpenAI access to your other text conversations. The update was announced on October 28, 2026.
