I think encrypted messenger apps should have their own built in keyboard to avoid keyloggers, analytics etc. that’s the one thing I’ve always worried about when using signal etc .

I am beyond irritated. I’ve been involved with Information Technology since before and during the release of standard cell phones, BlackBerry, iPhone, other smartphones as well as satellite phones and GPS receivers. Privacy has gotten worse and worse year after year. So tired of hearing about hacks and breaches. Thanks for sharing NB.

Your Awesome Aussie Accent is awesome, Naomi (not that you need anyone to say it). Keep on keeping on!!! I love this channel and your work is invaluable for everyone. Thank you for everything, you're the best!!!!!

LoL, just remember when addressing the SNG android, his name is Data (day ta) not data (dat ta). When the Dr mispronounced it and he checked her she said "dat-ta, dayta, what's difference?" Data replied "One is my name, the other isn't." Naomi, thanks for all you do! You're one fine tomato in my book!😊

we love u Naomi !! need more ppl to stand for privacy. its so ridiculous how many people willingly give up their RIGHT to privacy

I've been searching for a video on this for so long I'm convinced youtube supresses this topic. Thank you! Also, Gboard definitely shares data with other apps on your phone.

Thank you for covering yet another important topic! Personally, I use a forked version of Openboard with swipe typing built in. Unfortunately though, AnySoft as well as Openboard lack behind massively in terms of updates or general development. People who can code should really pick up on these pieces of crucial software.

This was a very informative video. There is one more thing I would like to have here which is the clipboard function inside the keyboard. Some of them are even keeping a history of it by default and I believe a lot of people, after coping something sensitive, say password, probably forget to erase it afterwards. While the data is kept locally and not sent anywhere, it would be safe but others using the same device can see all the data that we had copied and pasted which is not good for our privacy. BTY, your pronunciations are perfectly fine as long as people can understand what you're trying to communicate.

Anecdote: Yesterday I had a meeting with a city official. I borrowed her laptop to fill in a form and I copy pasted something from the net and instead of me getting the text I needed I got "privacy protected" information from the client she had before me. It's not a phone as you describe but even people who handle confidential information does not know how to keep that information secret. The clipboard is dangerous for private information what ever the platform. EDIT: My password manager on my PC erases the clipboard after a set amount of time. I do hope password managers does that/can do that to on Android.

Your videos are so top notch and thorough! Just amazing!

Thank you once again for highlighting a topic I hadn't thought about. You really are brilliant Naomi. PS I love your accent and we all say things differently and none of us are wrong on our pronunciation. Carry on being you, as I said, you're brilliant. Sending you love from the UK.

Great Review Thanks Naomi ❤

Thanks MS Naomi I loved open source keyboard apps and i using Floris keyboard at the moment good luck with your work

This was a very informative and eye opening for me. I never gave a thought to keyboards and what they might be doing..its so innocuous!!

Love your videos Naomi!! Please do one about this... Sony just updated their privacy agreement for my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. They basically force you to agree to hand over a lot of private data or you cannot use their app that controls the functionality of the headphones. It would be awesome if you would do a video on this "agreed" invasion of privacy. They tell you what info they scrape up and that they basically track your location, what you listen to, how long etc. They also share your data with their partners. Who would have thought you could be tracked through your headphones!! From the Sunshine Coast, Australia.

You're doing a great public service, thank you 👍

Very informative. love your contents,Naomi

I'm writing with Florisboard downloaded after I watched your video. Thanks a lot for this wonderful video.

I like your accent and the way you pronounce data. Not how I say it but its pleasant imo. Thanks for this video. I may try a different keyboard but I hate having to reenter passwords and all that. Currently I use Gboard because it was installed on my phone.

Your accent is diferent than mine but, i like it so much hahaha you have a beautiful voice and i love hearing it. Thanks for your work.

Regarding the last part, about the pronunciation of "DATA". Here is the explanation for some who don't know: UK and all its colonies (like Australia, India, HongKong, Canada, New Zealand, etc.) pronounced the word Data as "da-ta". While the US and its colonies (like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and my country Philippines) pronounced it as "dey-ta". Also, in the spelling department: like enrollment (UK) vs enrolment (US), coloniser (UK) vs colonizer (US), metre (UK) vs. meter (US), follows the same idea as the pronunciation. Allegedly, the reason why the difference is because of the man named Noah Webster. He changed how the words were spelled (and pronounced) to make the American version different from the British as a way of showing cultural independence from its mother country or its colonizer.

Thanks Naomi for the great insight!

so happy to see simple keyboard in the list

Hahaha.. as a fellow Aussie, your accent and pronunciation is perfect!! But ngl, before you mentioned "data", I thought the "all your questions" was going to be about your hair! 😅

I have a pixel 6a on Android 14. At least at the moment, almost all the keyboards you mentioned aren't compatible with it yet. I had given GrapheneOS a try, but ran into issues with LastPass, and reverted to stock Android 13. I may give them a whirl again once they have Android 14 ported. Love the accent BTW!

You're amazing, you DATA girl 😁🥰 excellent content and suggestions as always! 😎🙏

Girl, I love the way you pronounce words! ❤❤❤

LOL I am French. So to me it's dat ting dair instead of that thing there. I can't believe people feel like they have to correct your lovely accent!

Great information! Blocking internet access to mainstream keyboards would make them private?

Never thought of the keyboard (that I am now on :p ). Wonderful video,as usual; thank you! :)

Thanks for this great reporting!

Excellent content, highly informative, invaluable & Absolutely ❤ the accent on "data" & elsewhere too. So beautiful. 🙂🙃😍😊😉

You pronounce data the way you do, I assume, because you are from New Zealand. Nothing wrong with that. The information you give is so good, I do not care how you pronounce data so long as we understand what you mean. 😀 I also wish my own KZread channel was as good as yours.

Yeah, at first I found it a bit strange, but the way I look at things is the differences that make us interesting. I wish more thought like that. I'm trying to be more private, I'm trying to degoogle, hardest for me to let go will be Google Drive and mail, I also just their office apps. I do encrypt sensitive files with Vera Crypt first. I am now using Firefox with Bitwarden as password manager and I use Linux Mint as my desktop for most things. It's there a good online office that isn't Google or Microsoft?

Amazing vid. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I hadn't realized the keyboard app had quite that much power, yikes. I knew it was dodgy territory but yeah, very yikes. I switched to Simple's keyboard earlier this month and can say its been nice, I sorta miss the auto-correct but my lazy spelling has improved atleast lol Just wondering if you have advice on NFC tag/card writters? I'm looking at basic automation tools to compensate for poor memory and concentraition but this also seems to be some dodgy territory from my own research so far. Anyway, thanks for all the info, looking forward to more of the car series

The fact that people complain that other peoples' accent is "wrong" baffles me. How are they this narrow minded? Stay awesome Naomi and team, this channel is fantastic!

The vary thing I've been looking at. Also like the voice to text system, futo is the only one I'm familiar with so far that is open source locally hosted

I've been using openboard on most of my devices from past 2 years and it does what it neees to do, nothing more, nothing less

Thank you Naomi!

Oh Naomi 😂 you having to explain to other people that you have a different accent is just crazy. Why do they think you have to speak like the people from the movies. 😂

Wha... Your pronunciation is perfect. As is your presentation you just just offered.

Hey! Do you have any privacy focused news apps? I loved the audiobook app "AntennaPod" and it's great! Maybe there are similar news apps?

+1 for your 'data', & as for your accent, What accent? You sound pretty normal to me. It's always refreshing to hear the Aussie 'twang' on the interwebs. ty

Have no problem with your dialect. Shouldn't effect your videos. Great information once again. I also get pulled up on some of my pronunciations but it doesn't worry me, they get the gist of things. You do well, keep it up.

Thank you for the tip on Simple Keyboard - it's pretty much what I've been looking for. I hate all the extra nonsense that Google has been adding to Gboard. Coupled with the privacy insight, I'm even happier with the change. Looking to migrate to GrapheneOS or /e/ at some point down the line, I think. I'm really tired of the gratuitous UI changes all the time, never mind how intrusive stock Android (PIxel) has become.

Keep up the great work and content Naomi. 😊 Ain't nothing wrong with your accent or pronunciation 🇦🇺😉

I've been looking for a keyboard for CalyxOS that supports gesture typing for a while. Thanks for the suggestions!

OK your my favorite You Tube channel. 😃😃!!!. TY

I love your accent! It's quite charming.

This was completely new to me - shocking!

I personally have a mixed accent, i sometime pronounce the same way you do and sometimes in a different way. It is actually funny that you had to explain this 😂. Furthermore, is it possible to investigate Samsung phones, they take a huge percent of market share and Samsung does advertise some of it's features such as Knox and Samsung Wallet to be private. However, we can't know for sure.

I say data like you do. I actually use both "day-tah" and "dah-tah" 😊 no worries from here. I welcome your lovely accent! 🎉

While default gboard is great for accurate typing.. I use open-source keyboard app... you can notice while using the keyboard that is not as 'accurate' when you are typing.. This is because google keyboard is learning your style of typing and common words.. so even if you press 'T' by mistake it would actually press 'R' which is what you've wanted since it's tracking your habits.. I use Simple Keyboard and all advanced settings are turned off.. Takes a bit of re-learning to type correctly.. but I believe it's worth it

This is a great video. Quick question. By analytics sharing you mean the thing when you first setup the iphone (or anything else) that asks you to share anonymous information to help improve the services/device. I always turn that off, and I never use anything.

NBTV, leaving no stone unturned in the privacy arena! Now please excuse me, Im off to download and install the "daadaa" keyboard she recommended. ;) Nice talk, Naomi ❣

I just wanted to ask, for full transparency, what your relationship with the developers of GrapheneOS is? I'm new to the channel and you often talk about alternatives but not that I've seen when it comes to alternatives to Android. And you offer a service to assist the switch to GrapheneOS.

Now you know one method Security Services were using, together with info from the keyboard cache file!

RE closed source... "Dear LLM; how would you label these decompiled variables in a way that prioritises minimal cognition effort??"

I love the way you pronounce dance and chance. It's very classy, which I'm sure you pronounce as, "clossee" :-)

Naomi is Australian which is why she talks funny. Most Americans don't pronounce Australian properly. We say it with 3 syllables, they use 4. We say 'Aus trail yin ' , they say Aus trail e an' She has a very impressing background besides computers. WA = Western Australian Naomi has a degree in Acting (Curtin), Classical Music (WA Academy of Performing Arts), a Certificate I in Musical Theatre (WAAPA). She also studied musical theater at the WA Academy of Dance and Drama, and opera at Mannes Classical Music Conservatoire in New York. She has studied Improv Theater at Second City in Toronto and The Pit in New York. Naomi speaks English, French, German, Italian, and basic Russian. She plays piano, guitar, drums, percussion, recorder, and ukulele, and has performed in orchestras, jazz bands, concert bands, and acoustically throughout Australia. She is a state gold medal-winning Irish Dancer, and is highly trained in many other forms of dance. [7]

Thanks keep up

Hey @NaomiBrockwellTV i didn't find privacy keyboard that support thai.could you recommend me which is?

Thanks god someone speaks about that, I remember long time ago keyloggers on PCs were a big deal, but you had to inject a payload, nowadays with virtual keyboards it's so much easier, you just need to mask a keylogger as keyboard and push to the store... And ppl don't even think that they're installing bullshit on their devices, that in last decades became essential like air and water, keeping all personal details and do the most sensitive work and send most intimate data and they don't even know about any aspect of the safety needed to perform certain actions

According to the video almost anything can act as a keylogger and it looks like we (in general) don't care anymore. And because of this general carelessness we actually don't manage to have a healthy business environment which will manage to get profit from building a keyboard without being a keylogger. Therefore the problem stands in the way how the incentives are aligned.

You never mentioned which phones I can put Graphene on. Can I put it on any android phone???? Would be nice to know which phones.

But on the plus side at least you pronounced "Gif" correctly. 😊 Personally I find it interesting when some non-Microsoft user calls it "sequel" and not "ess-que-el" . It seems to indicate a lack of formal database education, and from experience that is often the case. 🧐😱 The inventer originally called it SEQUEL but changed it to S.Q.L after it became apparent that "Sequel" was trademarked. This is probably also why the likes of MySQL and Postgresql et al call it "ess-que-el" in their documentation; only Microsoft bucks that standard (as usual). *Edit:* Ironically I need a new keyboard; autocorrect keeps tripping up!

I learned UK English (I am from NL), so data and dance are pronounced correctly, according to me. I think color is spelled ugly, I think colour gives the word more "colour". ;-)
