Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck.
Ok, I get that surveillance is good for predictions. Put another way, predictions are tough without collecting everything everyone types. Is there a best-of-both-worlds keyboard out there? I’d be patient enough to give it some time to learn how I type and get better.
Not sure how it hasn’t been said yet, but I really like Helium314’s OpenBoard fork. Can’t recommend enough.

Closest I got was Florisboard because of the customization options
The main things I’m looking for (in order) are
- predictions
- better support for emojis and gifs
- built in translations
Google Keyboard works really nicely and it’s hard to give up on some of that
Can you link me? Searching it in the Play Store turns up some weird results.
It’s on fdroid :)

This sucks. What kind of suggestions are these?
If you need word suggestions use OpenBoard. If you dont, Florisboard is king.
I always turned off these “you cant type and I know it better anyways” suggestions. Also bilingual + colloquial is not great
