IMO I’d rather have that and have them clearly say they’re not using it for anything than potentially be profiled on WhatsApp where my friends keyboards are spying on their end in terms of content, i.e. be plugged into a social network with half the conversation exposed that way.
do you change keyboards for different apps? The keyboard itself is a separate app. Switching whatsapp for telegram (of all things) means you switched the messaging app. You did not switch the keyboard app too.
So if you think your keyboard is spying on you, that has absolutely nothing to do with messaging apps. At all
I see the confusion, what I meant to say their keyboard is spying on them which includes their part of my conversation with them.
Having an app broadcast the metadata of the conversations (whatsapp) + a keyboard spying on them = me getting profiled, somewhat.
Although Meta tries to go Apple’s way and not share data (likewise for Google, iirc)
non e2e encrypted by default, is not a sane privacy policy

I say sane in comparison to that.
Granted these are my own concerns
they use the same keyboards in different apps…
Wdym? I was under the impression that the Google native/default keyboard on Android feeds some stuff to their ad-related dataset
