Turn off IOS 13 Contact Suggestions

Other threads show it’s not possible to remove it. Come on, Apple. No one likes this new annoying feature.

It seem like there is no way to remove it.

The only way I can do to prevent this **** thing, is to remove that guy out of my contacts and save his phone number in some other place. (⊙﹏⊙)b

I have the same problem. It is not only extremely annoying, it is also very intrusive.

Is there any way to get rid of if definitely?

Which means: another system, another brand.

Apple is turning people like me away with such policies. When the os is supposed to know -better than the user- what he/she is supposed to do, like, share etc. , it’s a very bad sign to him/her: if I understand properly that I am supposed to take it or leave it, then of course I leave it. Who can accept such an intrusive “mandatory” feature?

Opt-out is not only an « option » : it is a deliberate choice. Where are the brains gone in Apple?

Im trying to find out the solution of the same but turning off everything is also not working. Requesting apple to provide a solution to this as when we share the scree shows contact info according to usage of the app.

I think that in this case the problem is about privacy! Apple needs to protect their costumers and listen them, in particular their complains, and this new feature seems not to be appreciate by anyone!

This is likely done in order to take these suggestions (that can now be considered a part of Apple’s iMessage Online Service and not a Device only feature) use them to categorize and place people into groups so that they can further their intrusion into your daily lives.

All of course “To provide more relevant content to consumer.” Right, just how digital voicemail was offloaded to a human company who then could access everyone’s voicemails.

I don't entirely hate the feature, but it needs to at least be editable/sortable/defeatable.

What I really want to know is: HOW are the suggestions determined?? There doesn't appear to be any logic as to which contacts appear. Like, how about the last few people I texted in order of most recent? Most used contacts? Favorites? But no, it's totally arbitrary and THAT is what makes it useless and frustrating.

I want to know too!

I don't want it to appear

Its terrible. And it sends it immediately! I've sent the wrong pic to people twice already.

@apple please solve this problem, I do not want every contact to be displayed after pressing the upload button!!!

This is very annoying.
