The privacy feature I like best in #GrapheneOS is the ability to turn off the network access for a particular app. It's a mandatory permission in #Android, and simply taking it away would break a lot of apps. So instead, GrapheneOS just tells the app that the permission is granted, but the network isn't available.
I'm used to #SwiftKey, but it makes me uncomfortable that the keyboard knows everything I type and has functions that call home. You can turn them off, but you never know. In GrapheneOS, you let it download dictionaries and kill the network access, then you know for sure.

I used to use the original Swype (TM), and kept side loading the .apk from one phone to the next, but it won't load on newer phones.
Now I'm using #HeliBoard: Customizable and privacy-conscious open-source keyboard github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard
with the erkserkserks/openboard gesture library github.com/erkserkserks/openbo…
Strangely enough, I found erkserkserks/openboard first, and only discovered the more active and feature rich HeliBoard years later.
