Title: Google's Gboard doesn't send your keystrokes, but it does leak chicken and noodles Post by: HCK on May 18, 2016, 04:05:13 pm Google's Gboard doesn't send your keystrokes, but it does leak chicken and noodles
<article> <section class="page"> <p> There’s a new keyboard option for iOS: Gboard from Google (http://www.macworld.com/article/3069589/apple-phone/googles-gboard-is-a-feature-packed-iphone-keyboard-with-baked-in-search-capabilities.html). Remarkably, Google released it (https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/gboard-search-gifs-emojis-keyboard.html) on iOS before Android, possibly because Google exercises much more control over the keyboard that’s part of Android. (For the record, and have at me with virtual sticks, I prefer the default Android 6 keyboard on my Moto G to the default iOS one.)</p><p> You can read elsewhere (http://www.macworld.com/article/3069589/apple-phone/googles-gboard-is-a-feature-packed-iphone-keyboard-with-baked-in-search-capabilities.html) about the keyboard’s features. I tested it out and adopted it almost immediately to replace Swype (http://www.macworld.com/article/2688655/meet-the-first-crop-of-third-party-keyboards-for-ios-8.html), which I’d found increasingly driving me to distraction. (It doesn’t seem to know a lot of words I use commonly, and it wasn’t improving over time after a few initial gains.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3070767/ios/googles-gboard-doesnt-send-your-keystrokes-but-it-does-leak-chicken-and-noodles.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Google's Gboard doesn't send your keystrokes, but it does leak chicken and noodles (http://www.macworld.com/article/3070767/ios/googles-gboard-doesnt-send-your-keystrokes-but-it-does-leak-chicken-and-noodles.html#tk.rss_all) |
