SwiftKey was bought by M$ a year or more ago :/.
I use Flexy, root firewall blocked though :) -
Thats scary, google keyboard atleast doesnt needle you like that, even though they collect probably even more than that.

@teganburns Don't even @ me?
And just because you like it, doesn't mean everyone has to :) -
con-fig3937yI don't really understand what the issue is. It's a machine learning system for your predictive text.
It's not messing with your privacy unless I'm missing something glaringly obvious? (which I may be) -
cursee165957yActually this might be useful for someone with identity-crisis or someone who doesn't know who they are.
They can look at the stats and feel relieved a bit.
"Hey I am a gamer"
"Hey I am a shopper"

@conor-figgy I understand that it's remembering my words to increase accuracy, and I don't have a problem with that, it's the fact that its using said words to determine what kind of person I am. And I don't feel that that's useful for a keyboard. So I get the feeling the data is going (or already is) to be used for other purposes...

icycrash6837y@sslPoodle on the play store it's spelled minuum? I do like the swiping of the Google keyboard when I'm typing with one hand.
-
icycrash6837y@sslPoodle it's alright I think they changed the spelling because the way it's spelled don't look like how I remember when it first came out.
