It’s a back door around normal app sandboxing and permissions systems. The security design of iOS was not meant to allow 3rd party apps to reach in and read any data from any app.

There is a 100% chance this would be used maliciously immediately. Meta would pressure users to install their meta AI agent, which would then go and read the users DMs, and create profiles on all the users who don’t even use Facebook by reading their data from everyone they talk to who did.

Personally I'd much prefer no siri access to app data than allowing evil companies like Meta/TikTok/Etc this level of access.
