  • Is openboard safe to use? Download it from F-Droid or Aurora?

I switched from iPhone to Android but i cant get used to the GOS keyboard (making alot of typos), so i was wondering if OpenBoard is safe to use and if they store / log things you type.

If its safe: download from f-droid or aurora store?

    Yea Openboard is perfectly safe and is one of the most recommended keyboards to use. Its completely open source and requires no permissions to work. You can download it from FDroid, Aurora Store, Droid-ify or even straight from its Github page.

      Conjure6589 Ok thats very good to know, so they wont log anything im typing somewhere and there is basically no difference with the GrapheneOS keyboard (privacy wise)?

        Reflux I came from iphone too, GOS keyboard definitely gets better with use. That being said, I downloaded gboard and revoked network permissions for it. It's fantastic.

            spiral Alright good to know, im having so many typos with the GOS keyboard lol

                Reflux yeah, I'm about two weeks into gos and my typing is back to iphone-accurate levels. For fun, I just downloaded openboard, its really good too.

                    Yeah love the iPhone look, but you're right, typing is becoming "stronger" with the GOS keyboard lol

                      Where can you get open board? I doesn't look like its on fdroid anymore? Did it change names?
