With more than a billion downloads on the Play Store, Microsoft's SwiftKey is trusted by a large community of Android users. It's just a keyboard app, right? It's not like it's some social media app that could be snooping on your private conversations, or a gallery app that could be stealing your photos. At first, a keyboard app doesn't seem like anything you should be wary of. Unfortunately, the allure of unrestricted customization sometimes comes at a huge cost. It is the main reason they're popular among Android users. Third-party keyboards thrive in customization. Some give you total control of the look and feel of your keyboard, with room for changing the colors and arrangement of your keys. Some of them can correct your grammar and predict your next words with impressive accuracy. On the Play Store, you'll find keyboards that can completely transform your typing experience. More recent versions come with the much improved Gboard (a Google-made Android keyboard), but even Gboard falls below the aesthetic and functional expectations of many users. Older versions of Android come with an in-built keyboard that feels a bit bland.
