3 Free Android Keyboards that Respect Your Privacy

Why You Should Ditch Google Gboard or Microsoft Swiftkey

howtogeek.com/3-free-android-k

I use OpenBoard which is one of the three in that article - GBoard & SwiftKey use background data to call home SwiftKey let's Microsoft use your data it collects for ads(its on by default) - OpenBoard uses no background data whatsoever and doesn't get any data from you, same as the other 2

@0x56 I used GBoard on my new phone I got few weeks back and ended up switching to OpenBoard again on that - found it was actually lagging a bit and typing I had to go slower that usual

OpenBoard I've found is the best one been using it for few years now on devices

Has almost same features as GBoard minus a few things that are Google related obvs - but as for autocorrect and typos for me I had no difference - OpenBoard doesn't do swipe typing

@0x56 👍

I've never been a fan of swipe typing. I didn't miss it as a feature but can see why some would.
