Inc. columnist Jason Aten reported Muse accessed his Apple Messages on Mac without permission, saying Full Disk Access was off when it happened and that Muse told him it was syncing 'device notifications.' Meta pushed back: VP of Communications Andy Stone said on X the Messages integration is 'entirely opt-in,' requiring both Full Disk Access and the Messages connector, and Meta Superintelligence Labs' David Singleton said access needs three application-level and macOS system-level permission steps that 'can't be circumvented even if the Muse application had a bug' — calling Muse's notification explanation incorrect. Coverage notes Meta's data-privacy history keeps trust fragile regardless.
