Suggested contacts under share options

I accidentally hit “suggest less” on my wife from suggested contacts under the share feature. Is there a way to restore her?

“Suggest less” share reversal? When you click the Share option in a webpage, it shows text and other messaging/social app contacts. Holding on a contact will pop up the “Suggest less” option. Anyone know how, or if at all, this can be reversed? I must have done this with some contacts and cannot get them to remain on this list. Very sad. Thanks for any insights.

Whatsapp contacts aren't appearing on suggested contacts section of share sheet Simple as the title, when I share anything, I get specific contact suggestions through iMessage, Mail, etc. But not Whatsapp. I've tried Enabling/Disabling the "Suggest when Sharing" toggle in Siri Settings, and delving into the Whatsapp specific "Learn from this app" toggle. I've also tried disabling Screen Lock in Whatsapp settings itself to no avail. It's still a feature because a number of my friends have it on their older/newer iPhone models. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

iPhone contacts with 'XSHAREDPHOTODISPLAYPREFALWAYSASK Hi - quite a number of my contacts have "XSHAREDPHOTODISPLAYPREFALWAYSASK" appended to their phone number. I've searched here and on Google and not found a way of removing that other than manually. Others who have posted have said they don't know what caused it. I might have some idea: my wife and I have two separate accounts. Normally we don't have each other's account "enabled" in contacts. Rather than having all of her contacts in my address book, I'd copied across 50 or so from her account. When I've enabled her account to check those numbers today, all the same contacts on her account do NOT have the suffix, but all of mine do. Other numbers in my account are not affected. Any ideas on how to fix - other than manually?
