The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while maintaining my privacy. According to what I’ve heard, it sends all typing data to Google’s server. If you ask me, that’s a massive no-no. Do you have any suggestions?

      How do you gesture type with it? Slide doesn’t work for me and there’s no option to enable it.

        You have to go to the settings and turn gestures on. Also this is not the fdroid version. This is the version from the link above.
