I use SwiftKey and it's much better than the Apple one. But it does require giving Microsoft access to most of what you write.

It does seem absurd that the options are "completely broken keyboard features" and "literal keylogger". Meanwhile we're paying for many transistors for NN engines and getting worse results than if they were never leveraged at all.

Is this what progress looks like?
