The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while maintaining my privacy. According to what I’ve heard, it sends all typing data to Google’s server. If you ask me, that’s a massive no-no. Do you have any suggestions?

    Weird I’m not seeing any options for emojis anywhere on the keyboard using S23 Ultra

      Maybe you have the key disabled, look in settings under preferences. There’s a bunch of stuff you might want to tweak.

      If you long press the comma key on the left of the spacebar, you’ll see an emoji icon on the far right.

      Long press the enter/return button (round, with an left point arrow). It’ll show you the emoji and clipboard buttons. 💡

      Alternatively, you can turn on the dedicated emoji button on OpenBoard’s preferences.

      You can also long press the comma button. There you’ll find the preferences and emoji buttons.
