Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
From Photos > Select a Photo > Share > I can see this screen with a row of recently texted contacts on my wife's phone, not on mine. We both have iPhone 13s, latest iOS update.
How is this turned on and off?
Thanks,
iPhone 13
Hey Tom,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!
That's called the Share Sheet in iOS. Typically, on-device processing helps identify which contacts and apps are displayed based on how you use your device and apps. If it's not showing anything at all, let's see if we can determine what's affecting it.
On your device, navigate to Settings > Siri & Search. Under Suggestions from Apple, do you have 'Show When Sharing' turned on? Then, on that same page if you scroll down a bit you'll see a list of your apps. Open the applications individually (that you wish to be able to show up) and make sure 'Suggest App' is turned on too.
Let us know if that has an impact on what you're seeing. If you did need to turn those settings on, be sure to use your device a few days to allow the on-device learning to kick in.
Best regards.

Hey Tom!
Just checking in for an update on this behavior. Did adjusting those settings have a positive impact on the Share Sheet options on your device?
Regards.
Tom,
Great to hear! Thanks for updating this thread to confirm the solution provided is what helped resolve your issue.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! Take care and stay well.
Hey Sharon,
I turned on a couple items under Siri and Search, then under Messages, turned on Learn from the App and on other. I guess let's give it a few days and see if that works. I will also check these settings against my wife's phone.
It looks like this is what I have been looking for. Thank you!
I'll post again in a few days and let you and anyone else know.
Hey Sharon, That worked perfectly! Thank you!
