  Futo keyboard has no telemetry whatsoever

    If the default ones does, 95% of the data is still harvested. Then we don’t really matter.

    But yeah, everyone reading the guy aboves comment, get the keyboard. The more the better.

      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

    +1 for FUTO. The keyboard and voice to text is awesome.

    How does it compare to Heliboard?

      Looks to have the same features, Heliboard appears to use the Swype library from SwiftKey which is a close source blob, use that info how you will.

        Ooh does Futo have it’s own FOSS swipe-typing implementation?

        Oh this keyboard is perfect. Thank you for telling me, it took a bit of customizing and it’ll take some time for it to learn my mannerisms but I love this!

        Been using the Samsung keyboard for years so this’ll take Mr a minute to get used to, but just the purple/black theme and swipe has me sold
