    If your referring to GBoard with network perms disabled, its highly unlikely that its using IPC as keylogger. There would be way too much useless data to store and not useful. Theoretically if they were to be a keylogger, the user would have to be in a super high threat model bracket for them to do this, but there no evidence of Google ever doing this.

    Also OpenBoard hasn’t been updated since August 2022. I recommend using the OpenBoard Fork.

      Not really. They have so much data about people’s habbits and usage patterns that it’s easy to discard bad data with machine learning. And I have no idea if they log everything, but there is no reason why they couldn’t. That’s enough of a risk factor to consider not using it.

        There’s no evidence of them actually doing this and if they were to do it, its most likely detectable via reverse engineering.

        Keep in mind setting the internet permission on gboard then giving other google apps internet access is privacy theatre. This applies to Google certified devices as well because Google Play Services are privileged.

          Well aware of that. Don’t have Google Play Services on my phone.
