Also your Android keyboard may be listening to anything you say in those E2EE apps.


Is this a persistent problem in android phones? Is there any way to avoid it (except using iOS)?


There's no difference in this problem between Android and iOS.

Yes but the key question is, where is the listening done and where is the data stored?
