WhatsApp Desktop text being highlighted to suggest events or map locations

This has just started within the last week, and is incredibly annoying. Any and every number or place that is typed in a WhatsApp message (either sent or received) is now being highlighted blue, with a dropdown box to suggest creating an event or map location. I cannot find anywhere to get it to stop (I have Siri turned off and unchecked the 'learn from this application' option for EVERYTHING!). Every message now is just littered with random blue text, which is so distracting - as well as messy! Any ideas? Cheers.

As this issue pertains to a Third Party Application

Suggest contacting the Developers of this application

Apple can fix Apple Applications and Apple Operating Systems

Apple can not fix Third Party Applications 

That falls clearly Out-Side the Domain of Apple and belongs solely with the Third Party Application Developers

It is Apple that is making the suggestions to 'add' it to my Calendar, or open the location in 'Apple' maps. WhatsApp doesn't have permission to access my Calendar or Maps (or anything else on my computer!) - this is a Siri/Spotlight issue (why else is there specifically an option in 'System Settings' for Siri to 'learn' WhatsApp?).

If we may " I have Siri turned off and unchecked the 'learn from this application' option for EVERYTHING!) "

Does the user care to may a revision ?

In the 4 days since the original question was posted and still no Me too .

Would seem, it is not getting any traction because the suggestion suppled may have been the correct solution ?
