Unfortunately I can't access my banking app without a "certified virtual keyboard". I have to flip back to gboard whenever I want to check my bank balance
That sucks my bank app doesn't seem to rely on it for anything other than notifications and I can live without those.
To be fair, android custom keyboards are ridiciously insecure. They have access to effectively everything on the screen and what you're typing while also having access to make external requests.
The solution is for Android to allow you to select keyboards per app
Yup
I learnt to just use my PC for all banking. Double check my balance before leaving the house for groceries.
I'm an idiot for not thinking of that. Fuck I'm so dependent on my phone
