Not only dictionary, also settings require a backup option.

Allow to transfer the learned dictionary and the AI learned predictions etc to a new phone. It's such a waste that this is lost when moving to any new device, even on the same platform.
Transfer can be in an encrypted way, so nobody can see whats in the dictionary or something like that, just allow the transfer in general.

"Transfer dictionary to new phone" (suggested by stefan on 2021-05-20), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Not only back up but sync across the ios devices would be cool. Native app maybe for better performancem?

So this was suggested a year ago now and still no progress? How hard can this be?

Yes, and backup of text shortcuts / sync across devices, is crucial please!

It would be valuable to add items to that prediction list too. For some reason I still have to frequently type in my email address in full. I would have expected it to have learned it by now.

Very important. Especialy for Swissgermans.

Teaching your phone your specific verson of swisdgerman takes months. Starting all over after you got a new phone is realy anoyeing.

sovereignty over my data presumes that I can dispose over the dictionary I create over time. Actually, the fact that this isn't possible for Gboard and Swiftkey, was the reason that drove me away from them towards Typewise. This feature would be a reason to stick permanently with this keyboard and go pro

Why shold I pay money for an app, if the results of the training time I invest, don't belong to me? So: I totally would like to see the possibility of export/import of my dictionary and trainig data for the following uses:
- Backup my dictionary and replacement entries.
- Port my dictionary and replacement entries from one smartphone to another.
- Adding dictionary and replacement entries on my PC and export it to all of my mobile devices with typewise.
- Bonus: sync between two smartphones which are both in use.

I switched to a new phone and have lost everything. Its incredible that this functionallity is lacking after the long time this app is in development

Please hurry with implementing portability! Its a huuuuuuuge setback to need to start over with all the costumization you do over time that give the Keyboard its efficiency (autotext, dictionary…)

It would be nice to have the ability to export my dictionary data in an easy-to-read format like XML or JSON.
This would allow users to manually refine their dictionary on a computer.
