A lot of Gboard beta users are suddenly remembering they joined the beta.

You're viewing a single thread.
All I want is for gboard to stop hijacking my default keyboard. I set futo for a reason and I meant it.

Edit: just noticed it also keeps turning on background mobile data usage dispite me having explicitly disabled that.

6 1 ReplyYes, but you shouldn't.
After a reboot, a lot of phones can only use the device's default keyboard app for entering the unlock pin/password.
If you've removed or disabled it, you can get into a situation where you have no keyboard at all, and a delightful chicken-and-egg situation of needing a keyboard you don't have until after unlocking the device to enter the code to unlock the device.
(A USB keyboard will let you escape this, for what that's worth)

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.touchtype.swiftkey
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.swiftkey.swiftkeyconfigurator

That's weird. What phone and OS? I've had to explicitly install it on my phones for as long as I can remember: https://i.imgur.com/8MlcpuK.png
Maybe you have to disable it as a keyboard in settings first?
