The "default" keyboard differs from device to device. Most devices have a closed source keyboard either from Google (gboard) or from Microsoft (swiftkey). If I remember correctly, both send subsets of what you type to the mothership and pinky swear to only use it for product improvement and guard your data with their lives.

I getting really paranoid...

Google claims to use differential privacy / federated learning for their GBoard: https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/05/federated-analytics-collab...

No idea about others.

I wouldn't put it that strongly.
