I‘m a little shocked rn. I am using fluffychat on ios since my legacy iphone is still working and I dont want to throw it out until its done.

But this happened the first time: I wrote „then I might need to take a taxi“ to someone and an installed taxi app immediately popped up via notifications saying „get off 25% today“ or something.

This freaks me out big time since it could mean every word I write on this phone gets checked by something/someone.

Anyone else? (It was literally the second I wrote the sentence)

    If you are using a third party keyboard, the company that makes it can see every keystroke. It is why Apple did not allow them for a long time.

      Are you talking about a hardware keyboard or an app? I was using the on screen keyboard I used from day one.

        You’re trying your hardest to have grandma level understanding of any of this…

        They mean third party software keyboard, which you said you are using. You chose to use that and Apple doesn’t have anything to do with that.

        It’s like you’re trying to show everyone how incredibly dumb you are.
