What device did you put this on? GrapheneOS only supports Google Pixels, correct?

Pixel 7 pro

Only complaint with the device itself is that once in a while it's hard to reach all the way across the phone when doing things one handed 😅

OS is great, but for security reasons it's important to stick with the stock keyboard. Emoji selection is weak & autocorrect is buggy & unusable IMO. Not a problem in Telegram and many apps or websites that have their own emojis & spellcheck. Would love for Amethyst to add a basic spellcheck nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z

It's a fair complaint, but amethyst already has an issue with typing over the selected word rather than cursor location (at least for me), I'd be worried about layering spellcheck over the top of that. I've gotten so used to the graphene spellcheck that I don't think about it, but you are right, that is a UI issue that would annoy most users.

Typing over stuff when editing is the issue that my autocorrect seemed to be causing

Interesting, so amehtyst doesn't do that for you now?

Nah I can type & retype & make all sorts of edits with no issues at all now.

You might try OpenBoard - its superior to the built-in Graphene keyboard. I still have an issue with editing text and I'm not sure if that's Amethyst or the keyboard. For some reason hitting backspace removes spacing in messages.

This isn't top tier OPSEC or anything but I just installed GBoard and disabled the network permission.

It's def disconnected because the gif and sticker crap don't load. I know it's possible for apps from the same devs to exchange data so Google still get around it, but I disabled all the "analytics" and similar bullshit anyway just to stay on the safe side.
