Gboard wouldn't need to take screenshots. It can see what you're typing as you're typing it. As far as what your contacts are saying, if they're using Gboard, it's the same for them. And even if Google doesn't admit it, we all know they're correlating every single data point about people they can get, which includes who talks to who. I wouldn't be surprised if they know you're talking to a particular person and tailors your suggestions to fit the conversation. This is an even stronger possibility if you're using one of Google's messaging apps.
