Federated Learning for Mobile Keyboard Prediction

Federated Learning Makes Your Phone Keyboard Smarter — and Keeps Your Words Private

Typing on your phone just got a little easier.
Instead of sending what you type to big servers, a new approach trains the keyboard right on your device, so it learns from real typing without moving your texts away.
That helps the keyboard give smarter suggestions because it's learning from better examples, not from mixed up server logs.
The trick is to update the model on many phones, then only share small summaries, so no raw data leaves your phone and your words stay personal.
This way the system protects privacy while still improving predictions.
You still get faster, more useful next-word suggestions, and the company never needs to see everything you write.
It also makes it easier to build privacy by design, since the learning happens where the typing happens.
It sounds simple, yet it's a big step: phones teach the model, people keep control, and keyboards get better with time, without sending piles of private text away.
