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 don’t see the same thing on android 12.? Only restrict background data.
It may depends on your rom/os brand. On my device (oxygen os 13.x), I can restrict access somewhere deep into mobile network settings (the translation may not be good as I have it in French) :
Settings > mobile network > data consumption > network access.
And here I see all apps. I can restrict mobile network, WiFi or both.
Not there on 14 with pixel, but it shows only 1mb used with is likely even I search for gifs
Same on android 13. There’s not even a “Mobile data & Wi-Fi” category, just “Mobile data.”
You could use an app like NetGuard to block internet access, but I’ve not found that to be a very practical solution, especially for VPN users.
Edit: Looks like it’s a Samsung thing.
I really wish I didn’t have a Samsung. What a horrible way to treat consumers, removing a basic function of the OS.
I’m on 13 and I have it. Your ROM probably disables it.
Same on Android 13

Seems like it’s not available in Samsung’s OneUI.
Samsung doesn’t want you blocking their
