    Sadly Google Keyboard is the only good keyboard app left. I have internet permission blocked on it so I have actual privacy, and there’s not too much bloat. I was excited by a really nice FOSS keyboard app called FlorisBoard, but unfortunately it looks like it was abandoned right before they released the update that fixed auto correct. They even had glide typing working.

      The one thing that keeps me on Gboard is the swipe-from-backspace. The way you can select multiple words depending on how far you swipe is such a great feature.

      Last I checked SwiftKey (finally) got it as well, but it felt far less accurate.
      Samsung’s keyboard only has the hold-to-delete-quicker which is just awful.

          My custom OS let’s you block the keyboard outright from the internet, and I have.

          And it shows because not even the gif keyboard works.

            That’s mobile background data, that’s a different thing. I use a custom ROM that lets me completely revoke the network permission. It’s not available on stock afaik.
