Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
You can only basically change the skin on an iphone keyboard. Downloading another keyboard still uses the apple keyboard under the hood. That's why all Apple keyboards are such trash compared to Android.
Same with your browser. You can download a new browser, but it's still Safari.
Youre right. The reason i went with iPhone is im trying to avoid using google services. Im a fan of Android but google is crazy with all the tracking. Tried graphene but i need something that just works.
Also i dont like having too many apps on my phone.
Eh. Depends at how you look at it. I mean what else is there to jump ship? Graphene? Calyx? Im not young as im used to be. I dont have time to tinker everything. I just need something stable and just works. Grapehene is easier than ever. Just plug it in and youre good to go but you still need to find reliable email provider. contacts. notes and all that
What happen if my phone’s dead? Can i just buy a new phone and restore from backup easily like icloud backup?
Im not here to argue which is better at privacy or security.
That makes sense. I know it's probably not much better since it's Microsoft, but what about Swiftkey? It always seemed to be more accurate than Gboard, for me at least.
Thanks for the suggestion. Never tried swiftkey tbh. Never knew MS acquired them. I guess im just used to gboard when i used Android because it support Multilingual. Gboard is so good with that clipboard function, edit clipboard, swipe to type, auto suggest, auto correct, multilingual and swipe to delete. Thats why i never even think of trying other keyboard.
Iphone keyboard is so barebone. Doesnt even support my language for mulitlingual.
iOS keyboard is pretty good in iOS 17. The iPhone's keyboard on iOS 17 leverages a transformer model, which OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) uses in their own language models, to learn from what you type on your keyboard to better predict what you might say next, whether it's a name, phrase or curse word.
