Android keyboard recommendations?

Do you guys have any android keyboard recommendations? Using Gboard rn, would choose to not use MS keyboard. Bonus points for multiple language support.

Gboard here as well. I've always been happy with it, both it's functionality (good swipe support, gifs etc.) as well as customisation. I'd also be interested to hear what others use as well, as it's been at least a couple of years since I tried any others.

I dislike GBoard because it will frequently autocorrect words which are already correct.

It drives me absolutely insane. Like "it's" is a contraction for "it is", but "its" is a possessive. Yet whenever I want to use possessive "its", autowrong "corrects" it into "it's".

No, that's not what I wanted to say - if I wanted to say that, I would've typed that. You recognize both words as "real" words, yet you insist on changing the correct thing to the incorrect thing.

I love GBoard otherwise, but that drives me positively up the wall. It's a relatively recent behavior, too - it hasn't always done that.

I do experience the same, yes. I think my brain automatically backspaces a couple of times and corrects the correction. Now you mention it, it will probably bug me now lol! You may find deleting "it's" and "its" stops those autocorrections.
