What's the deal with Android "keyboards"? Why is it just an app that you can install? And why can it have more functionality/permissions from the OS beyond just being a local keyboard? As an iOS user this is very bizarre and foreign to me.

I feel like every time the topic of Android keyboards (again, why is this a thing?) comes up it's some kind of big spyware thing. Seems like most every app on Android and iOS is spyware anyway, of course.

You can install 3rd party keyboards on iOS too to be fair. GIF keyboards etc.

Old article but still relevant: https://www.macobserver.com/tips/how-to/ios-11-install-third-party-keyboards-on-iphone/

I don’t know if the iOS walled garden has any further security measures over Android.
