Even the touch keyboard loggings will not be saved in an incognito mode.

Untriaged it if it can be addressed by the respective dev folks.

Android keyboard are currently unaware of incognito modes, so this applies to Android.

I don't know about the other operating systems. Durga, can you please indicate for which operating systems your statement applies?

Wait, so the touchscreen keyboard on Android DOES still log/record what you type in incognito tabs and those words will show up as suggestions in 'normal' mode Chrome?

AFAIK, neither Android nor iOS provide an API to learn that the app is running in an incognito/private mode. Incognito/private mode is an app feature, not an OS feature, at the moment. I have asked the Android team to look into this but there is no ETA at the moment.

iOS does not provide API to tell that keyboard should not log keystrokes. michaeldo@, could you please file a radar to request "incognito keyboard API".

I've filed a radar for this. radar/29793089

it should also mention it here https://support.google.com/chrome/?p=incognito for those that tap/click on "LEARN MORE"

Something I think is worth mentioning here: SwiftKey for Android has an Incognito mode but it must be enabled manually

Chrome (I think version 59+) now automatically opens the Google Keyboard (Gboard) in incognito mode on Android O (older versions will come later).

Once the SDK is stable, I'll try to reach out to other keyboard vendors. They will be able to support this for O and - via the compat library - for older versions of Android.

That's great news! And does that also include Chrome OS tablets too? A few very nice Chrome OS tablets just came out and they obviously should have this too

+shuchen as OWNER of chrome/browser/chromeos/input_method for comment #14.

And don't forget, there are lots of Windows tablets out there now. Maybe someone should contact microsoft about this

If you open a private tab in Firefox for Android, does Gboard automatically switch to its new incognito mode? If not, someone should reach out to Firefox team because I'm sure they would want the Incognito Gboard to active automatically

Mozilla folks have already implemented it at http://bugzil.la/1266683.

There is at least one open  bug 311180  about Chrome OS and Google Japanese Input.

On Windows, MS-IME Japanese added a new mode called "Private Mode" in Windows 10 anniversary update [1], which is automatically enabled when Internet Explorer / Edge is in InPrivate browsing.

Last I checked I couldn't find any public API to let MS-IME Japanese enable "Private Mode" from the host application, but at least a Mozilla guy seems to have figured out how MS-IME Japanese is detecting whether the target application is in "InPrivate browsing" mode and he is now trying to implement it for Firefox at http://bugzil.la/1269295.

Over to rpop@ to find the right owner of this, since I believe shuchen@'s recent effort on Chromium is 20%-ish thing.  Proper engineering resource needs to be allocated from Chrome team.

Battre, have you reached out to SwiftKey yet? They have an Incognito mode ready and waiting but it must be turned on and off manually, I’m sure they’d rather it be automatic (just like Gboard)

I tried but they had an open ticket for this already here: https://support.swiftkey.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115002245049--Feature-Request-Switch-to-incognito-automatically

I had checked their website and did not find another way to request features than via this forum.

I was hoping that they would notice at some point that Chrome and Firefox trigger incognito mode automatically on GBoard.

apologies because I know this isn't really the place for this but there is a related issue in the YouTube for Android app: go to the YouTube app, turn on Incognito mode and tap the search button, observe that Gboard has not switched to its own incognito mode like it's supposed to. Gboard DOES switch to its incognito mode in Chrome for Android incognito tabs, but not in the YouTube for Android incognito mode. Can someone please notify the relevant people on the YouTube for Android team? And I assume this might also be an issue in YouTube for iOS but I have no way of knowing
