The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while maintaining my privacy. According to what I’ve heard, it sends all typing data to Google’s server. If you ask me, that’s a massive no-no. Do you have any suggestions?

    I’ve been using it for years and I haven’t noticed if its gotten any worst. It did however get bought by Microsoft, so it sends quite a bit of information back to Microsoft, if it is allowed.
