How to remove recent Messenger contact I n Photo Share shortcut key

Photos were Recently sent via Messenger and after that, the contact pops up in the sheet every time I open the photo share shortcut key even through I disable the Messenger access right to Photo. Any idea on how to remove the contact? Many thanks.

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.

Thanks for your reply. The messenger contact shows on the sheet since I shared photo to the person only once. Yet he is not a close person of mine, it is inconvenient and awkward every time I want to share photos, especially it is the sole contact on list.


I tried to modify the Messenger app in Siri setting as well but it may not be the solution.


Maybe the only way to avoid this situation is to start more conversations with others lol
