The standard keyboard (Gboard) on HTC 10 has begun displaying ads
- arusahni 9y agoFWIW, this isn't the Gboard (Google's official keyboard). HTC ships TouchPal's keyboard. It looks like TouchPal pushed an update through the Play Store that (maybe accidentally) ignored whatever licensing system was in place for HTC devices.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoIt's not the Gboard, but if the phone ships with it as the default, it's definitely the standard keyboard for that phone.
- izacus 9y agoGBoard is a brand name of Google's keyboard. The title is thus misleading - its equivalent to saying "Apple is showing ads in iOS keyboard" when actually a 3rd party keyboard does it.

(append ?context={number} to the link)
- yodon 9y agoWhy, and/or helpful to whom?
- dzeller 9y agoWere you able to fully understand what the comment meant from the link provided? I wasn't. It's helpful to the reader to have context when a comment is in response to another.
- Ajedi32 9y agoWhy even link to a comment in the first place? The comment in question seems to be talking about iOS, which isn't at all relevant to the article being discussed.
- dgrove 9y agoThat is touchpal
- problems 9y agoThe link goes to an unrelated comment thread about iOS keyboard password entry - should this be linked to the root of the thread instead? https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/6nhyur/the_standard_keyboard_on_the_htc_10_has_begun https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/6nhyur/t...
- gargravarr 9y agoVery glad to see this isn't Gboard as it's what I use on my S5, but dear god, this has got to be crossing the line, right? Keyboards, as commented, are the Holy Grail for data mining. If one more thing starts popping up ads on my phone, I will go back to a Nokia.
