Documentation on where Keyboards download language packs
We are playing around with the idea of using different keyboards in our environment and possibly even pixels. We mainly use Samsung devices so Knox provides lockdown for the samsung keyboard and they also support for getting information there as well. We are able to block some traffic using existing proxy config such as blocing translate but having problems figuring out where exactly is Gboard pulling its information for language packs/ language dictionary. Does anyone have any good information?1.9KViews0likes1CommentSecuring third party keyboard traffic
We are facing a situation where users are complaining about the default Samsung Keyboard that comes with Galaxy devices as the corporate device. We are looking into providing other options such as Gboard and Swiftkey but the problem is we are unable to fully secure traffic going to these third party services. For Gboard there are some options onthe MDM as amanaged app while Swiftkey does not have many options. Main reason we stick with Samsung is the Knox service plugin which helps secure the device more including keyboard however it only applies to samsung keyboard. With each other keyboard we introduce we have to rely on the key value pairs that come with the app to select options we can lock down as needed. Not all the app developers are enterprise focused so its hard to get any feature requests thoguh. Only other thing I can think of is blocking traffic at a network level to ensure nothing goes through but then we would need to know the addresses that are used. Has anyone faced this situation?
