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?

    Network permission? How did you disable network access?

        Network isn’t listed as a permission used or requested or denied to this app. Using Samsung S22.

          It’s a custom rom thing, when you never use stock roms you tend to forget what’s stock and what’s not.

          Very annyoing that stock android doesn’t have this feature.
