Description

If it is turned ON, keyboard does not learn from your entered words.
It doesn’t collect hints. No help for afterwards typing. Fully optional.

It must also be said that my keyboard, OpenBoard, already has this function.
I realize, however, that many people still use "unethical" keyboards and then this is definitely a help where the person concerned is not aware of the tools he uses daily (and that he leaves installed on his device).

It is also a quick way to have more privacy in not degoogled devices.

Research direction

Start by locating the incognito keyboard setting and tracing how entered words are collected for hints. Confirm the expected behavior when it is enabled: words should not be learned or used for later typing assistance, while the option remains voluntary.
