Hmm…
I use AnySoftKeyboard instead of the default android keyboard or the Samsung keyboard just to preemptively avoid these kind of “issues” creeping up in the future.
Should I still be worried?
Is there a way to sandbox or scope the software keyboards to never see the network (wired ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE, 5G or otherwise) on stock Android 13 ?
Other than:
Settings > Connections > Data Usage >
Allowed networks for apps > {app} > Wi-Fi only (and not use Wi-Fi) or Mobile data only (and not use Mobile data)
and
Mobile data usage > {app} > Allow background data usage > Disabled
Moreover, there is no “Network Permissions” setting option from what I can see even within Permission manager > Additional permissions.

Install Netguard, then you can block every app you want (including system apps) from connecting to the internet.
No root or complicated setup required.

Alternatively, there’s TrackerControl that does the same thing, but also let you block specific trackers in an app while letting it connect to the net (it’s a paid option for Netguard, if I’m not mistaken).
