Incognito keyboard in Dixl

Android keyboards typically learn from everything you type — contacts’ names, personal phrases, even passwords. Incognito keyboard mode asks the keyboard not to record or send what you type in Dixl.

How it works

When you turn on incognito keyboard, Dixl sets a flag (IME_FLAG_NO_PERSONALIZED_LEARNING) on every text input in the app. A keyboard that respects the flag will:

• not add words you type to its personal dictionary,
• not use what you type to improve autocorrect or predictions,
• not send what you type to cloud-based learning services.

Turn it on

Open Settings › Privacy › Incognito keyboard and toggle it on.

Keyboard support is not enforced

The incognito flag is a request, not a guarantee. Dixl can’t verify that a third-party keyboard actually honors it. Well-behaved keyboards (Gboard, SwiftKey, Samsung Keyboard on recent Android) respect it. If you need certainty, use an open-source keyboard like AnySoftKeyboard or HeliBoard.

FAQ
