Just detected a call made by my iPhone seemingly sending my iOS keyboard data to an iCloud server. The domain name icloud-content[.]com is owned by Apple but not the one normally used for syncing iCloud data. The 316 KB of keyboard data is marked as "UserWords"

The data is encrypted and I couldn't get a clue of its content. The only keyboard data that is synced via iCloud is the text replacement dictionary.....

On-device suggestions When you ask Siri to read or search for information on your device, such as in Messages and Notes, and when Siri provides suggestions, like through widgets and Siri Search, all your personal information is kept on your device rather than being sent to Apple servers. Siri Suggestions in the QuickType keyboard are made possible by an Apple-developed neural network language process that also runs directly on your device.
