The gesture support for additional signs is quite nice, but probably annoying if you are used to swipe keyboards.

try tracker control and you will see that swiftKey doesn’t respect that “disable”
An app being able to subvert system-level permissions would be pretty huge news.
I downloaded that app along with SwiftKey and disabled network access for it. Here’s what I get:
Where am I supposed to see it being able to access the internet?
in the “traffic log”
Enabled the traffic log, used SwiftKey in a few different apps, got traffic from those apps, but nothing from SwiftKey. What am I missing?
a tinfoil hat?
on my phone, even with disabled access, it was “phoning home” regularly. i’m on AnySoftKeyboard for the last 2 years.
maybe my os wasn’t intact 🤷 it’s degoogled now and (relatively) tracker free
if Swiftkey works for you … good for you.
excuse my comments
I don’t use SwiftKey, just tested it because you shared a tool for doing it and claimed it was able to subvert Android permissions.
You probably didn’t actually disable the permission – like I said, the idea that an app could get around system-level permissions like that, in a way you could plainly observe would be headline news. It would be astounding that you somehow uncovered something that massive.
I use GrapheneOS. It is unable to access the Internet entirely.
