Hello Correiracm,
We understand that you're looking to disable the pop up that shows when connecting to Bluetooth. We would recommend reviewing your Siri Suggestions, which are outlined here:
About Siri Suggestions on iPhone - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!
I appreciate your advice sterling r. That is the first place I checked when I first saw it happening. But it is not a Siri Suggestion setting. Mine are all off, were from the begining, and it still happens. I am starting to get the feeling this is not a Siri function but an OS feature that you can not disable.
Roku is not listed there as its not an app that uses Bluetooth. In my example in the picture above, it depicts Roku as an app I often use while connected to Bluetooth. Sometimes it suggest Sirius XM and other times Youtube. All depends on what app I've been using more lately. Its a suggestion based off an action I am taking (connecting to wireless buds) but is not Siri Suggestion related.

I post that almost reflexively. Lots of people get very stressed about this sort of thing and I like to give them an option. ;-)
I have the same issu and it’s very annoying. I feel it very intrusive and it looks like commercial pop-up / adds that are shown while using “cheap” apps.
To apple guys => we know what apps we have on our phones. No need to suggest us what we have been using recently or leave it to users with limited memory capabilities...
As best I've been able to determine based on some other threads, it's just a suggestion that happens. I don't think there's a way to turn it off.
I wonder if it's not related to Handoff.
Go to Settings>General>Airplay & Handoff and turn off Handoff.
That was a good thought but it didnt work. Thanks anyway!
Hmmm. Try this. Settings>Privacy>Bluetooth. Turn off Roku if it's enabled.
I have come to a similar conclusion.

Go into settings.
scroll down to Siri and Search
scroll down to the app it is suggesting
click the app
where it says “suggest app” turn it off
problem solved
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Your solution works for Siri suggestions but will not work for squashing the "Often Used With" message.
