iOS 13 Suggested Contacts in Messages App

Prior to iOS 13, when starting a new message and I started typing the name of the contact it would display a list of suggested contacts to choose from. Since I've updated to iOS13 that list is now displaying old suggestions that I haven't texted in over a year. It is also displaying groups that I don't remember.


In prior iOS's you could edit the list by clicking on the 'i' and removing it. Now that option doesn't appear and there doesn't seem to be any way to update the list. There also doesn't seem to be a way to just turn off suggestions. If anyone has some answers I'd appreciate it.

What I have experienced is when you keep using the iPhone regularly the contacts with whom you interact recently and regularly will only appear here.


If you do not interact with a contact then it will disappear automatically.



However you may....

  • To turn off Siri Suggestions, go to Settings  > Siri & Search, then turn off any of the following:
  1. Suggestions in Search
  2. Suggestions in Lookup
  3. Suggestions on Lock Screen


For a specific app, tap the app, then turn off Show Siri Suggestions.


Your personal information—which is encrypted and remains private—stays up to date across all your devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. As Siri learns about you on one device, your experience with Siri is improved on your other devices.

  • Siri is designed to protect your information, and you can choose what you share. To learn more, go to Settings  > Siri & Search > About Search Suggestions & Privacy.
