Deleting suggestions in messages

I am able to delete all suggestions & once used numbers & group messages from messages however there is a name/number I do not recognise & cannot get rid of. When I press the i next to it it just takes me to a screen I cannot do anything on. How can I remove this?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

What you see in "to:" and Message app is Siri's Suggestion from other apps. See the pic below




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.
