You have to explicitly and manually enable network access for each keyboard. It also reverts to the built in apple keyboard for secure situations such as entering your password for itunes/app store etc. I've got several third party keyboards installed on my iPhone and haven't allowed any of them full access. Only one that I have tried has refused to work without that. | |

Many people would gladly trade security and privacy for usability. It is just a matter of time when another scandal blows up and hopefully provide that much needed wake-up call. | |
