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.

Make sure to click the voice to text icon (and maybe enable in settings?) before disabling network permissions. It will do voice to text off line and it works alarmingly well.

I’d have to root?

I use GOS so built in firewall for just denying network permission, but there is also fake-VPN based ones that don’t require root.

Thanks for the link! I already use blokada, so only one vpn-like service at a time I think?

Np, Yea , unfortunately only one VPN at a time.

I’d consider switching if it blocks ads and trackers like blokada does. Looking into it, thanks.

I’m not sure it does , however you could just change DNS to DNS.adguard.com for that :)
