I was perusing the list of apps on my iphone SE3 (which I purchased a few years ago from Straight Talk), and noticed an app I am certain I didn’t install, called Keyboard Data Chinese and Japanese” that had backed up to the cloud. The presence of this app concerns me. I deleted its data from my cloud account. Then I looked at another iPhone I have and saw the app on it, too, and deleted its data from the cloud account.

I can’t find an app by this name in the App Store. I’m not sure what it’s been doing. Do any other members find this app installed on your phone? Can more knowledgeable members comment about the implications of its presence? Is it a key logger/spy app?

I don’t know about your SE, but on my iPhone 15, if you go to Settings, General, Keyboards, there are probably 150 different keyboards you can use.
Since iPhones are sold all over the world, it’s probably easier to include all of them.
