I switched a couple of months ago, from SwiftKey. Had been using that for ever, long before Microsoft bought it.
NGL, the transition was a bit rough, and the first month my error rate spiked. All good now though, plus Futo has a bunch of super useful features SK never had. Overall, very happy.
This might be a stupid question but if I have data sharing disabled on SwiftKey, doesn't that mean my typing data isn't being shared with Microsoft? Or does it still just do that
Who knows?
Unless a piece of software is open source, you cannot know.
We were talking about SwiftKey
Oh my bad I'm a silly
Fair enough
Futo has no internet access permission as well so android won't let it and you won't have to check the code after every update.
