It is very wise to use a FOSS keyboard app, because if you think about it a keyboard app would probably be the thing on your phone that knows the most about you. I don't mean that to fear monger, it's just a thought. Plus if you look at events in the past few years like swiftkey's little user data error it gives you an idea of how privacy invasive they could or could already be.
If you look at FOSS it doesn't just mean it's free. Any WordPress plugin you get from the official repos with have a GPL licence, so you are free to look at and modify all the code and even repackage and sell your own version under the same terms. That's the joy of the GPL
