3 Steps: How to remove Siri suggestions?

After some initial confusion about the iOS 10 lock screen, you can find yourself using the lock screen widgets in iOS 10 to check your calendar, a sports score or the weather — all without having to unlock your phone. Even a single lock screen allows you to quickly call your home or your wife’s text. Since all of these tools help you out, Siri’s app suggestions — the two rows of “suggested” apps that appear on the lock screen — are unnecessary. So, today in this article we will explain you how to remove siri suggestions.

◆ How to remove siri suggestions?

With iOS 10, you will receive app suggestions from Siri on iPhone and iPad, which will be displayed on the lock screen, in the notification center and in some cases also in the task overview.  However, the icons for these suggestions are indistinguishable from those of the “Handsoff” function, which lets you switch seamlessly between, for example, an iPhone or MacBook when writing an email.

1. Open your setting on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down and tap “Siri & Search”.

3. In the “Siri Suggestions” section, turn off each of the Siri suggestion options you want to disable.

4. you can also remove it from Application. Click on the app’s whatever you want. then Turn off all suggestions.

Siri tries to suggest apps that match your user behavior.  For example, if you mostly surf in a news app after getting up, it will be displayed to you at the time you usually use it.  If you always listen to music via Spotify on the train on your way to work, your iPhone will show you this app as soon as you are on your way.  While the feature of iOS 10 may be useful, it makes part of your user behavior visible directly on the lock screen.

The app suggestions on the lock screen, in the notification center and in the task overview can only be deactivated together.  They are all based on a single widget.  This can be found in iOS 10 if you swipe to the right on the lock or home screen.  If you have not yet rearranged or set up any widgets yourself, you will see the “Siri App Suggestions” near the top of the list.

To deactivate the app suggestions, scroll down to the bottom of the widget overview and tap on the “Edit” button.  Then look for “Siri App Suggestions” from the list in the next window and tap on the red minus sign that you see to the left of the widget name.  After that, iOS 10 will no longer show you any further suggestions.  However, if you still get it, it might help if you turn your iPhone or iPad off and on again after making the change.

If you want Siri to show you the suggestions again or you have accidentally deactivated the widget, the change can be undone quite quickly: go back to the widget page by swiping to the right from the home or lock screen.  Tap “Edit” and look for “Siri App Suggestions” under the “More Widgets” tab.  Tap the plus sign to re-enable the iOS 10 feature.
