That's quite the claim that GBoard keylogs. This has come up before and it is claimed that GBoard does not keylog and send data to Google. I feel like if it was really doing that it would be a huge controversy that everyone would know about. |

> A technology called federated learning helps Gboard learn new words and phrases. Federated learning doesn’t send the text you speak or type to Google, but will send what it learns to Google, where it will be combined with learnings from other users to create better speech and typing models.
I had heard elsewhere that Samsung really was collecting everything typed on their keyboard. I did a couple minutes of research just now: doesn't seem totally outlandish. Under "information we collect":
> Samsung Keyboard information: The words that you type when you enable Predictive text. This feature may be offered in connection with your Samsung account to synchronize the data for use on your other Samsung mobile devices. You can clear the data by going to the Predictive text settings.
