Privacy with Google's Gboard
Privacy with Google's Gboard
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?

Eh, florisboard is better
It's
onlybetter for privacy.It's definitely still behind in features.I'm going to partially take that back. I just realised I hadn't added Florisboard Beta in my Obtainium after switching to a new phone. We now have suggestions! I miss gif searching but, meh, I can live without that.
Edit: well, kinda. There's a PR waiting to introduce "proper" suggestions. Right now in the beta, there's a suggestions panel, but it doesn't appear to be using the dictionary yet.
