You should seriously consider whether you trust the company who creates the keyboard to treat your data responsibly and actually secure its servers. When you trust a third-party keyboard, you’re giving an application a very deep level of access to your phone, including everything you type. Swiftkey was first released in 2010, and it was acquired by Microsoft in 2016. It is developed by TouchType Ltd., a subsidiary of Microsoft. The problem is that keyboards have access to so much. Swiftkey is a keyboard app for Android and iOS devices that uses a predictive algorithm to suggest words as the user types. This certainly makes things more convenient, but as with all things, convenience often comes at the cost of privacy. To personalize your experience, they often upload data about how and what you type to the company’s servers. Change Fuzzy Pinyin mappings to suit your typing style. The option to enable Fuzzy Pinyin is available to all users with Chinese (PRC) or Chinese (TW) languages. Instead, they try to perform advanced text prediction and personalized autocorrect. Microsoft SwiftKey supports Fuzzy Pinyin from version 6.5.5 onwards. Keyboards aren’t content to just live entirely on your phone and allow you to enter letters.
