Turn OFF Siri Suggestions on iPhone

As you must have noticed, Siri provides suggestions when you perform a Spotlight Search, open Apps during certain periods of the day or when you arrive at a particular destination.

These suggestions are based on analysis of your daily routines and the way you have been using your device during different periods of the day and at different locations.

According to Apple, the information used to process your request and provide relevant Siri suggestions remains anonymous, as it is not linked to your Apple ID.

Also, Apple makes it easy to disable Siri Suggestions on Home Screen, Lock Screen, while Searching, while Sharing and you can also disable Siri activity in Apps and Widgets.
