Apple will add controls to Full Disk Access on macOS, citing risks from AI agents
Apple said on October 2, 2026, that it will add controls to Full Disk Access, the macOS permission that lets an app read nearly everything on a Mac. The company says some developers use the permission in ways that expose files, mail, messages, and browsing history without users fully understanding it. Apple expects the risk to grow as AI agents become more capable and autonomous. The post gives no date, no macOS version, and no description of the new controls.
