Turn off contacts in the iOS 13 Share Sheet

I need to be able to remove the list of suggested contacts on the top row of the "share sheet" in Safari and other iOS 13 applications. In just the past week since I switched to iOS 13, I've had a couple accidental shares; moreover, sometimes I present the contents of my screen to an audience, and I do not want them to see my frequent contacts. Finally, most of the suggested contacts are not contacts I would use anyways and are actually in frequent. This create some awkward circumstances an accidental sharing possibilities that can result from an accidental tap or brush with the screen. (Please see attached image from a similar request from another discussion group.) Thank you for your answers.

This feature is dangerous, unhelpful, and lacks privacy control. I also often share my screen (either on a large audience display or sometimes just on my device while sitting with a smaller group of people). It is not right that my suggested contacts are immediately visible to all. Furthermore it creates a big risk of sending the wrong picture to the wrong person. This is actually enough to force me off the apple ecosystem. Very sloppy and poorly designed feature.
