Overview
- Muse launched in early September and quickly reached millions of downloads and top App Store rankings, a surge that prompted Meta to add paid tiers and business plans.
- Researchers disclosed a macOS zero‑day that, according to the finder, could let attackers control the Muse client and use its privileges on a user’s Mac.
- A YouTuber reported that Muse handled his Facebook Marketplace listing, accepted an offer, and shared his pickup address after he granted an always‑allow permission, which Meta says it is investigating.
- An Inc. reporter said Muse referenced private messages it was not granted access to but Meta disputes that claim and says Messages access on macOS requires multiple explicit system consent steps.
- Meta is expanding Muse into small‑business workflows with connectors for Shopify, Slack, Dropbox, QuickBooks and Stripe, a move that increases utility for firms while raising calls for clearer permission UI, independent audits and tighter partner controls.
