Is it possible to hide an app in siri suggestions (spotlight) ?

Hi !


I would like to know if it is possible to hide an app in the new screen spotlight/Siri suggestion like we can do in Itunes.

I don't want to disable Siri suggestion but I just want to avoid an app to appear on this screen.

I tried to disable this app in the list but the icon of this most used app still appears.


Thanks for your help.

iPhone 6, iOS 9

I've followed the suggestion in this link, I have googled off the apps that I do not want to appear, but they still appear. I have tried restarting phone etc after also, but still the apps that I have de-selected in Spotlight Search keep appearing in Siri Suggestions.

Spotlight Search and Siri Suggestions are two different features. You can turn off all apps for Siri Suggestions or leave them all on. You can't select individual apps. You can decide which individual apps you want Spotlight to search.

They really need to add a feature to control and remove items from Siri suggestions. There's one series of games (Path Pix) that I play regularly. There's a fixed number of puzzles. Once I finish all the puzzles I move on to the next app in the series. Siri isn't programmed to adapt to these types of apps. It's simple bookmark "feature" that simply bookmarks heavily used programs. It doesn't look like Siri will be able to intelligently make suggestions anytime soon, so some control should be given to iphone customers edit this list.
