Third party keyboards

There is a privacy warning : ”If you enable Full Access, developers are permitted to access, collect and transmit the data you type“.

The data typed with that specific keyboard or all the data typed with other keyboards, including the default apple keyboard???

Tks

Iphone 7, 11.3.1, third party keyboard from app store: SkanKey

There is no error. The app runs great.

Go to Iphone Settings/General/Keyboards/Add new keyboard...

You’ll have “suggested keyboard” and “THIRD-PARTY KEYBOARD” with a blue link text: “About third-party keyboards & Privacy...”

Its a text, warning, informing from apple/ios/ whatever that : ”If you enable Full Access, developers are permitted to access, collect and transmit the data you type“.


To use this app i have to set it as a third party keybord and enable “allow full acces”

The question remains:


The developers of a third party keyboard are permitted to access, collect and transmit the data typed ONLY with that specific keyboard they developed or ALL the data typed with all/other keyboards, including the default apple keyboard???

No worries.

Unfortunately I'm not able to help you about that warning message, but I would talk to the developer's support team and ask for clarifications.

I'll talk to some other friends and investigate if anyone is using that app. If I find an appropriate answer, I'll keep you informed. Please, do the same for me, after you've contacted the developers people.
