Deleting your data

github-actions[bot] edited this page Sep 15, 2026 · 4 revisions

WM Keyboard, by Wasi Master, has no account and no server. There is no request to send and nobody to send it to, because nothing about you is ever transmitted to this project in the first place. Everything the keyboard remembers is a file in its own private storage on your phone, and you can erase any of it, or all of it, from inside the app.

This page is the deletion route for the app published on Google Play as WM Keyboard (com.wasimaster.wmkeyboard), and for the F-Droid and GitHub builds of the same app.

Delete everything at once

Uninstalling WM Keyboard removes every file it ever wrote: learned words, clipboard history, statistics, settings, themes, downloaded dictionaries and models, and the app's own cache. Android deletes the app's private storage with the app, and there is no copy anywhere else.

If you turned on Back up with Android under Privacy, a copy may exist in your own Google account's Android backup. That backup belongs to you, not to this project. Delete it from Google One → Storage → Backups, or turn the switch off before uninstalling and no backup is made.

If you set up Backup & restore yourself, delete the files wherever you pointed it: your own storage, your own Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive or WebDAV server. This project has no access to any of them.

Delete one thing at a time

You do not have to uninstall to erase something. Each of these is a button in the app, and each takes effect immediately and permanently.

What Where Erases
Learned words and word pairs Privacy, Delete the learned words every word, bigram, trigram and skip-gram the keyboard picked up from your typing, plus your emoji history, the corrections you undid, your Chinese, Japanese and Cantonese picks, your finger's key-position models, the fixes you've taught autocorrect, your language-mix tracking overall and per app, your swipe-typing outcomes and shapes, and your personal-dictionary rankings. Your personal dictionary goes with them, because a word you add by hand lives in the same file, and the dialog says so. Your snippets and imported word lists are left alone
Clipboard history About / Storage, the Clipboard row saved clips, pinned clips, and copied images
Typing statistics About / Statistics, Delete all statistics, or the Typing statistics row under About / Storage daily counts and all-time speed records
Emoji history and favourites Emoji, the clear-history row recent emoji, usage counts, favourites and remembered skin tones
AI results history Tools / AI writing tools / History, Delete all history every prompt and answer the AI tools kept
AI chat conversations Tools / AI writing tools / History, Delete all chats every saved conversation
Personal dictionary entries Personal dictionary words you added by hand, one at a time or all
Saved API keys each tool's own settings screen the keys you pasted for translate, search, GIF and AI providers
Downloaded data About / Storage dictionaries, emoji keyword packs, speech and AI models. Re-downloadable at any time
Every setting, back to factory About / Storage, the reset action the whole configuration, after a second confirmation

What is kept, and for how long

Nothing is kept anywhere but your device, and nothing has a retention period set by this project. Data stays until you delete it or uninstall.

Two things expire on their own, and both are held only in memory:

  • A one-time code captured from a notification is offered for three minutes by default and then dropped. It is never written to storage.
  • Tool results that are cached (exchange rates, weather, search results) are cached for minutes to hours and are not personal data.

Some things are never recorded at all: anything typed in a password field or a field an app marks as sensitive is excluded from learning, suggestions and clipboard capture automatically, and incognito mode applies the same exclusions to everything for as long as it is on.

Data held by anyone else

When you use one of the optional network tools, the text you put into that tool goes to the service you chose: Brave Search, GIPHY, KLIPY, Open-Meteo, Wikipedia, Unsplash, Pexels, or whichever AI provider you supplied a key for. That data is held by them under their own privacy policies and their own deletion routes, not this one. WM Keyboard keeps no record of it and cannot delete it on your behalf.

The full edition on Google Play is built on Google's ML Kit for handwriting and scanning, which sends its own diagnostics to Google. That collection is Google's, and Google offers no deletion path for it; the only way to avoid it is not to use those features, or to use the lite edition, which does not contain ML Kit. See the Google Play edition privacy policy and the F-Droid edition privacy policy.
