And while all of them work great, they also share a big issue that almost nobody talks about.<\/p>\n<p>They all connect to the internet and create logs, which makes them a huge privacy concern. That\u2019s why I like HeliBoard more. It\u2019s a free and open-source keyboard app based on OpenBoard that works entirely on your device. The sad part, though, is that it isn\u2019t available through the Play Store, so most users haven\u2019t even heard of it.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tYour Samsung phone has a better clipboard than you think<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">It&#8217;s the best productivity feature you&#8217;re ignoring.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"privacy-is-the-biggest-pull-of-heliboard\">\n                        Privacy is the biggest pull of HeliBoard<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"it-doesn-rsquo-t-watch-what-you-type\">\n            It doesn\u2019t watch what you type<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>                                                      &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/heliboard-is-best-android-keyboard-for-privacy\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best Android keyboard is the one that\u2019s not on the Play Store https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/heliboard-is-best-android-keyboard-for-privacy\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":262015,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.makeuseofimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/06\/heliboard-on-a-foldable-samsung-phone.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-262014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262014"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262014"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262016,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262014\/revisions\/262016"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
