REGARDING "ALLOW FULL ACCESS"
*****************************************

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ALLOWING FULL ACCESS TO THIS APP, you can still opt to use the iMessage sticker pack, which is included with that app, and does NOT require full access. The sticker pack also comes with additional features, such as single-tap and peel-and-place sending.

The LBMoji app comes packaged with two ways to use LBMojis; an image keyboard, and a Messages sticker pack for iOS 10+.

In order to copy + paste the emojis from the LBMoji keyboard, Apple requires that you turn on "Allow Full Access."

When you turn on "Allow Full Access," your device will give you a warning regarding the privacy of your data.

The LBMoji keyboard app does NOT track or record any text you type, including sensitive information or credit card numbers, and does NOT transmit any data or information back to us, or to any other entity. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us.

Allowing full access is the only way to make custom keyboard apps, like LBMoji, work inside of other iOS apps, like Messages. This is how Apple handles custom image keyboard permissions in iOS. There is no way around it, and it has nothing to do with how this particular keyboard app is built.
