Apple plans tighter macOS Full Disk Access controls as AI agents raise privacy risks

What changed

Apple says it will add tighter controls around macOS Full Disk Access so granting such broad permission requires more explicit user action. The company notes that the permission can expose files, mail, messages and browsing history, and says the risk grows as AI agents become more capable and autonomous. Apple has not yet specified an OS version or rollout date, so this is a confirmed security-policy change rather than a fully deployed permission flow.
