      Wdym? I was under the impression that the Google native/default keyboard on Android feeds some stuff to their ad-related dataset

        do you change keyboards for different apps? The keyboard itself is a separate app. Switching whatsapp for telegram (of all things) means you switched the messaging app. You did not switch the keyboard app too.

        So if you think your keyboard is spying on you, that has absolutely nothing to do with messaging apps. At all

          I see the confusion, what I meant to say their keyboard is spying on them which includes their part of my conversation with them. Having an app broadcast the metadata of the conversations (whatsapp) + a keyboard spying on them = me getting profiled, somewhat.

          Although Meta tries to go Apple’s way and not share data (likewise for Google, iirc)
