    It invaded my Swiftkey keyboard with no permission and zero warning today (Obviously I realize that I probably gave it permission for shenanigans when I accepted the SwiftKey terms and conditions).

      Man, Microsoft’s purchase of SwiftKey still bugs me.

      It’s frustrating that after so many years, there’s still no open source mobile keyboard where you can “import” your typing history from multiple sources to tailor autocomplete to your own “voice”.

      While Google also has problems, it was a pretty smooth switch from SwiftKey to google keyboard (years ago for me to be fair)

        Sadly both of these don’t work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.

        Really hoping they’ll fix that one day.

          The Heliboard keyboard (opensource), based on Openboard, is pretty damn good on at least 3 languages with a seamless typing experience with predictions.

          The trick config is to use one language (english) then use “sub languages” that you need. Don’t just tick the 3 languages on the list or you need to switch manually between them when typing.

          No spying going on here.
