Didn't swiftpad or whatever its called send every key pressed to Microsoft?
Not a China shill. China is horrible. Microsoft less so as they don't commit genocide in slow motion. But still, I think this sort of thing is more common than we think.
Use FOSS.
Think you mean SwiftKey which Microsoft just introduced bing AI into that you can't turn off. I 100 percent assume they now use all your typing data to train their ai too. They won't even let you use themes without logging in to an account so I again assume they also tie data to accounts.
