Android’s Gboard always suggests replies in chat apps that fit the context of what my contacts write.
If my previous message had been related, I would assume it predicted what my contact would say in response and make a suggestion based on that. But even if the contact changes the topic, the suggestions are appropriate.
I don’t expect that the apps all share the conversation with Gboard. So how are the predictions made.
It seems unlikely that it would take screenshots and base predictions on that. But otherwise I don’t know how it is possible.
This comes from Android Smart Reply, not GBoard: https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/language/smart-reply
It’s on-device local processing using AI and it integrates with notifications (not the keyboard). GBoard has no access to your messages
Thank you! This must be it.
I don’t have message content in my notifications, so I don’t think it can read any data from there. Maybe Signal just supplies it to this service directly?
Even if message content is hidden from the user, Smart Reply can access it
As far as we know. Gboard comes from Google and I don’t trust them even if they put it down on paper
Feel free to decompile them - it’s all there in the APK, you don’t have to live in doubt.
You know, assuming they have a background with years of coding experience and have the necessary knowledge to decompile a program and the necessary free time to reverse engineer the gibberish the decompiler spits out only for it all to be for nothing before they even finish because a new version was released.
Who cares ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I’m using a foss keyboard
