macOS 27.3 may close the shortcut AI agents use to ask for Full Disk Access, but apps can still ask you to switch it on

9to5Mac· 8 Nov

9to5Mac says Apple announced last month that apps will need 'very explicit user action' to get Full Disk Access, after AI agents asked for it and then misused people's data. A developer who found the change says that from macOS 27.3 an app that touches protected files will no longer be listed in Settings for a quick toggle. 9to5Mac notes apps can still ask users to drag their icon in.

On a Mac, open System Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Full Disk Access, and switch off any app or AI agent you do not use every week.
Before you give an AI agent access to your messages or files, check what it says it does with them and whether it works without that access.
