Good grief.
A wallet app that shows the seed phrase in cleartext is broken by design, as these should be using password inputs which do not have AI text prediction.
So what if the user can't see the words they're typing. They have ostensibly wrote it down on paper anyway so should have an offline copy anyway.

AI is one innovation that have helped to make the use of electronic input devices so easy and life better for any one trying to have first fingers. This is a case to be armed for sure but, only for those that do input there seed phrases more regular than required. This is what makes me doubt the chances for which, these phrases could be reproduced. There are very few instances where one needs to use a seed phrases,
* Wallet creation
* Wallet recovery
Aside from these two instances, there is virtually no reason as I see it, for one to be playing about with his or her seed phrase, making the instances of the AI program to clinge unto the phrases a task not to remember as, they aren't used regularly. Again, these AI programs focuses on words that are grammatical enough to make a sense and not phrases that doesn't make a complete sense.

Seed phrase comprises of a lot of words, though AI predictive can catch some words still its hard to get all words, especially those AI predictive program can only rrcognize those words continously being used unless the hacker can see the history of written words in your phone. Probably someone might try it but its not an easy as you think mate.

The increasing technology which we see today as beneficial to us also pose some risk to crypto holders.
The text prediction feature in our Smartphones could lead to stealing your Cryptos if proper caution
are not taken.
"AI TEXT PREDICTION "
Text prediction in our Smartphones help us predict or guess the next word we're typing......
Therefore this feature can easily guess a crypto holders seed phrase by just typing in one word and the text prediction can
be able to bring out the whole seeds phrase of that wallet.
This is as a result that we have all those data collected, that's the reason it's able to know exactly what you're looking for.
RISK FACTOR ASSOCIATED WITH AI TEXT PREDICTION COMES VIA WHEN
.Your phone is stolen by another crypto holder.
.You sell your phone to someone without erasing your data.
.You gifted your phone out to Loved one ,a friend or family member without flashing your entire phone.
Therefore hackers could use this feature to drain a crypto user’s funds by just easily typing in the first word phrase and the text prediction
will complete the wallet's seed phrase.
WHAT TO DO
The solution to this is to ensure you clean up your AI predictive type catch so that those data is not stored in there, in case a senario
where your phone got stolen or gets into a wrong hand.
