What's the status on swipe typing on foss android keyboards?

Some have it, some don't. Idk why but I heard the swipe functionality relies on some kind of Google library that you can install manually on some FOSS keyboards if they don't have the feature. Idk if it's safe for privacy though. I never learned swipe keyboards anyways so here I'm on the "just don't use it" side :) (jk)

FUTO is the only one to my knowledge that doesn't rely on the Google library but it also isn't as good.
