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?

    Regular updates doesn’t mean, new features all the time. It mostly means security updates, which are important.

      It doesn’t have internet accesss. There isn’t much to worry about.

      Ed: I understand that non-internet apps can be used for attacks as well, but maybe there just hasn’t been anything to update.
