The Siri Suggestions tab of the Smart Stack on my homepage is now serving me location-based ads for Uber Eats. I uninstalled Uber Eats immediately after seeing this garbage on my phone. This has had no impact on the recommendations, which I did not opt in to. Why would Apple allow an uninstalled app to use my location? What horrible series of decisions made this the default behaviour? And how do I turn it off?

I’m having exactly the same problem. I’m getting location based ads in Siri suggestions. The screenshot already provided is the same that I see, but I see local businesses wherever I am. I don’t want this, how do I opt out or turn it off?
