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?

    Just installed it. Swipe typing seems to sort of work, although it’s even less accurate than Gboard. Still, I think I’ll keep it, at least for a while.

    I do wish for a physical keyboard, though… Wouldn’t need gesture recognition then.
