Yup… Me too waiting on contacts.

Sorry, but Signal is still a messenger app. They didn’t set to make a keyboard app. You are barking at the wrong tree.

Signal’s duty never included input methods. Moreover, if you force a keyboard that doesn’t cover everyone’s keyboard tastes AND language AND typing methods, you suddenly are blocking people from using their own choices. Suddenly you are force-feeding a possibly bad keyboard implantation to many, and taking away interest from the app.
And, finally, there’s already plenty of free open source and privacy-friendly keyboards. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel for one single app. This is, all in all, a really poor idea.
I don’t root my phone these days anymore. It makes a whole host of other issues with banking applications and the like, plus a nasty app might take advantage of the elevation as well. Either a full rom, or going the path of adb disabling system apps. Not pretty. Using GrapheneOS these days.

While this helps… If you have any Google software, it tends to call home anyway by using hardcoded IPs into their apps. Samsung does likewise. The solution being, not only a DNS server, but also a serious firewall in the router. And, even better, a ROM you can trust, such as LineageOS.
Turning off your history in Google is about as useful as using the incognito mode in Chrome. It just hides it from you, but you can be sure Google is keeping their own copy. Don’t use Chrome, gmail, Google docs… Use custom ungoogled roms (GrapheneOS, LineageOS). Switch to Linux, use privacy friendly dns, or even your own… The path to privacy is a long and arduous constant fight, full of inconveniences.
I saw a couple days ago they are not even respecting subreddits that were actually private from the beginning. I saw the mod of a private breastfeeding group freaking out because they were going to make the whole thing public.
Yeah it took them quite too long to notice that the US doesn’t have any leadership (if it ever had it) regarding consumer protection in general. It took the EU really long, but it seems they’re finally starting to move their legs.
