Hi alggomas,


We'll be glad to look into this with you further. From what you've described, it sounds like this is a Siri suggestion. These aren't able to be manually changed. However you can disable them, if you'd prefer. The following article shows how to customize this feature: Siri Suggestions on iPhone - Apple Support


"Turn Siri Suggestions on or off for an app

Siri Suggestions are on by default for your apps. You can turn them off or change the settings at any time.

  1. Go to Settings  > Siri & Search, scroll down, then select an app.
  2. Turn settings on or off.

"


Cheers.
