How private is your phone keyboard?
Smartphones allow us to intimately communicate, do sensitive work, and access the world around us by tapping on a screen: The gateway to this world is the keyboard. It’s where we type our searches, our credit card details, our passwords. You'd better hope the keyboard you're using is private, and not sending off your keystrokes somewhere else.

In this video we dive into keyboard privacy, and dive into some of the most private and least private keyboard options.
