People being okay with US tech-based keyboard apps effectively being keyloggers, and hoovering up every single thing they type into their phones. Its one of the reasons I made Thumb-Key.
Keyloggers on desktop computers : ๐ฆ
Keyloggers on phones : ๐
Ashamed to admit it took me way too long to realize smart phone keyboards were just built in keyloggers. I switched to OpenBoard a while back but phones in general are just built from the ground up to be a privacy nightmare.
Interesting, I'm trying it out now,
ThumbKey is very cool! I'm giving it a try and am typing with it now. I am very glad that apps like this exist. Thank you for developing it and for sharing it here! What a neat app and concept!
No probs, glad you like it!
