Hi Chuck and others, I don't know if you get the same warning when you install Fleksie, but on the last Today in iOS episode, Rob mentioned that when you install some third party keyboards a rather worrysome message is displayed. According to this message, you give the developer of these keyboards "full access" to anything that is typed on said keyboards and the warning for one popular keyboard called "Swift Key" includes this: "allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type…”
Interestingly enough the keyboards mentioned didn't even include Fleksie and I wonder how popular Fleksie really is. Here is the link to another article about this, but I certainly would not install a keyboard where I got such a message. I have an iPhone because I like how secure it is so then why would I allow some developer whom I don't know from a hole in the ground to have access to everything I might type on their keyboard including potentially credit card numbers and so on. I think maybe that is the reason why Apple defaults to their system keyboard for passwords and so on. http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/09/ios-8-third-party-keyboards-full-access-privacy-concerns.html Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Dean Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2014 9:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: third party keyboard Fleksy will be a great keyboard, once they get the bugs out of IOS8.
