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

      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?

          Enabled the traffic log, used SwiftKey in a few different apps, got traffic from those apps, but nothing from SwiftKey. What am I missing?

            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.
