Updates to Full Disk Access in macOS

Apple is introducing additional controls for Full Disk Access in macOS to protect private user data. While this permission allows backup apps to function, some developers use it to expose files, mail, messages, and browsing history without full user understanding. Apple warns that increasingly capable AI agents make such broad system access riskier, potentially compromising the privacy of users and their contacts. These updates aim to ensure that only genuine applications maintain these powerful system capabilities.
