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?
A lot oft ROMs allow you go completely disable Internet access for a certain app. Disabling the data collection toggles in GBoard and disabling internet access for GBoard, Play Services, Play Store and the Google App should prevent most logging.
Does Lineage allow this? It’s the rom I’m considering for my Galaxy Note 10
Sorry for the late reply but yes, this works on Lineage, one of the reasons I’m using it!
Oh wow, I’ll have to give it a try then! I switched to lineage in the meantime and I’m absolutely loving it so far
