It invaded my Swiftkey keyboard with no permission and zero warning today (Obviously I realize that I probably gave it permission for shenanigans when I accepted the SwiftKey terms and conditions).
While Google also has problems, it was a pretty smooth switch from SwiftKey to google keyboard (years ago for me to be fair)
Sadly both of these don't work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.
Really hoping they'll fix that one day.
The Heliboard keyboard (opensource), based on Openboard, is pretty damn good on at least 3 languages with a seamless typing experience with predictions.
The trick config is to use one language (english) then use "sub languages" that you need. Don't just tick the 3 languages on the list or you need to switch manually between them when typing.
No spying going on here.
