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?

The post title contradicts the abstract. Gboard does not transmit the content “only” telemetry data.
Damn, Swiftkey sends the typed text even in Incognito mode… 😱
Where does it say that? The abstract explicitly says that neither gboard or swiftkey collect or share the input content or frequency of specific characters entered.
Does it say differently in the actual paper?
