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.

I'd have to root?
I use GOS so built in firewall for just denying network permission, but there is also fake-VPN based ones that don't require root.

Thanks for the link! I already use blokada, so only one vpn-like service at a time I think?
Np, Yea , unfortunately only one VPN at a time.

I'd consider switching if it blocks ads and trackers like blokada does. Looking into it, thanks.
I'm not sure it does , however you could just change DNS to DNS.adguard.com for that :)
