Siri calls people / businesses from Maps instead of calling a person from my contact list

This is driving me crazy. When I say e.g. "Siri, call Petr", instead of calling that person from my contact list, it find a business with this name and proceeds to call this business.


I previously worked around this issue by turning off location services for Siri but as of this morning, Siri refuses to function with location services turned off.


The spicy part is that I have removed Maps from my iPhone (totally useless in Europe), yet I keep getting these Siri Maps suggestions.


I have not found any such issues online. Can anyone please help before I throw the phone against a wall?

Scroll down in the Siri Settings...


Settings>Siri & Search>Maps turn off "learn from this app"


and verify you have Contacts selected as an option
