SensorKit keyboard sensor data collection range

Hello,

Recently we got a question about the keyboard sensor data collection in our research project:

"For the typing statistics, was any typing included or only messaging and notes? E.g., typing in the browser, phone search, calendar, etc?"

While I believe it should be any typing included, I was not able to find a document explicitly stating that. Could you help to confirm it or guide me to any documentation explaining it?

Thanks!

For Keyboard Sensor Data, there is no filtering for specific apps, so it captures any keyboard session.

For privacy reasons, details of what apps were in use when the keyboard metrics were collected are obscured. But you can look at all the 'sessionIdentifier' values that contributed to SRKeyboardMetrics and then look at the App Usage to see what app categories contributed to those sessions.
