iOS 15.5 – Can't remove suggested share in contacts

I had to share documents with a business contact this week, but do not want to accidentally send them things in the future.


I've tried the following:


  1. globally switched of suggested contacts in Siri & Search
  2. hit the 'less often' button in the share menu – maybe 30 times...
  3. tried each of these and then restarted the phone


Nothing works.


I need to keep the business contact in my list.


Please advise.

Siri Learns from where you go and from what you have on your device.


Restore from a backup to make Siri unlearn. Else...


What I have experienced is when you keep using the iPhone regularly the contacts with whom you interact or places you go recently and regularly will are learnt by Siri.


If you do not interact with contact or stop going to a place then it will disappear automatically.



However, you may try....

  • 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.

Thanks for your response, but as I've had days of headaches with this device I'm not about to restore it.


And I already did the Siri Search thing, as I explained in my post.


The only solution was to export the contact to a folder and delete it from Contacts.


Re-adding it and hoping the contact wouldn't reappear in the share list did not work either.
