Smart android keyboard respecting privacy?
(lemmy.world)
Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.
I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.
Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?
I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.
Same on android 13. There's not even a "Mobile data & Wi-Fi" category, just "Mobile data."
You could use an app like NetGuard to block internet access, but I've not found that to be a very practical solution, especially for VPN users.
Edit: Looks like it's a Samsung thing.
I really wish I didn't have a Samsung. What a horrible way to treat consumers, removing a basic function of the OS.
I'm on 13 and I have it. Your ROM probably disables it.
What can be done about that, besides rooting my phone?
