It invaded my Swiftkey keyboard with no permission and zero warning
While Google also has problems, it was a pretty smooth switch from SwiftKey to google keyboard (years ago for me to be fair)

Sadly both of these don’t work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.

Really hoping they’ll fix that one day.

The Heliboard (opensource) keyboard is pretty damn good on at least 3 languages with a seamless typing experience with predictions.

The trick config is to use one language (english) then use “sub languages” that you need. Don’t just tick the 3 languages on the list or you need to switch between them manually when typing.

No spying going on here.
