Which keyboard app do you use on your phones? Do you enable clipboard history in it? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I use Gboard, as I'm on Android.

Do you use Gboard or the clipboard feature? Or use a similar feature of an other keyboard app?
Do you use apps like NetGuard or TrackerControl to restrict net access to the keyboard apps?

Have tried some FOSS apps some years ago, but didn't stay on them because, Malayalam(my mother tongue) and the handwriting mode(which is quite good), is not available in most other apps.

I had thought about turning on the clipboard history option and am thinking about the privacy/security aspect behind it. As per Gboard, it remembers history for 1 hour and there seems to be no sync option. So it seems sort-of safe. Thinking about such things since I do copy-paste OTP's.

I use SwiftKey and switch off the app access to the Internet.

Also trying out FUTO keyboard. Seems pretty good.

What do you use to switch off the internet access for it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Certain Android versions... when you go into any app settings you can disable mobile data or WiFi if you don't want the app to access.

Tap and hold on the app -> app info -> network access -> block whatever you want.
