Background app permissions to ios-keyboard

Can an app open in background see what I type in an app that is in the foreground (on screen)? Like passwords?


I only use apps from the App Store. I also have the latest update 13.7.

Hello thegreatoutdoors,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you are looking to learn more about iOS security. Let’s take a look and see what we can do. We're happy to help!


We recommend taking a look at this resource that explains Apple Platform Security in detail. But, when typing in passwords in apps and secure website your iOS utilizes "secure entry" for passwords. Apps can not run in the background to read what you are typing.
