Hello, could someone recommended a keyboard for android that is a bit smart in predictive typing? I used to like swiftkeybefore it was bought by microsoft. Not that swiftkey itself was much better but I was not so privy conscious at that time.

I recall swiftkey would require access to your texts and emails to train itself to your predictions.

Is there some similar foss keyboard where all the data then remains local?

I know swiftkey has an incognito mode, but then it stops learning from your typing.

    I did no such thing, and they’re not “promoting” anything, you’ve clearly never used Graphene, nor familiar with the definition of the word Promote. The Play Services aren’t installed by default, nor are they even mentioned as an option during the installation. It takes a user intentionally going into the Graphene apps store, and installing them after the fact. They also make it a point to mention that most apps work fine without them. Maybe actually read how they work, because you’re clearly unaware. Some people want them, and microG is shit, which is why they developed that option.

    • Agreed with Mr random. Graphene gives users options, it’s literally the cleanest phone install I’ve ever seen, there is no extra fluff installed. The users have to choose what they install. Full agency . We should celebrate more options for users.
