Q: Spotlight nearby function availability Belgium

Hi B-ice,

When I search for information on Spotlight Suggestions I find an article that makes it seem like they are available in Belgium.

Where can I use Spotlight Suggestions? - Apple Support

In addition to searching your device, in many places Spotlight now shows suggestions from the Internet, iTunes, the App Store, nearby locations, and more. Learn where you can get Spotlight Suggestions.

When you search with Spotlight, you can get Spotlight Suggestions in the countries listed below1. You'll also need to use a language listed for your country.

                                                           

Country	Language
Australia	English
Austria	German
Belgium	Dutch    French

So if you are using Dutch or French as your language you can use Spotlight Search Suggestions.

Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Change search settings

Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search.

From here, you can turn Siri Suggestions on or off and choose which apps to include in your searches. For example, if you don’t want to see search results from your Messages app, you can deselect Messages.

If you don’t want Siri or Spotlight to suggest nearby locations, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Then tap System Services and turn off Safari & Spotlight Suggestions

Take care.

Hi B-ice,

So it looks like the article that says, "suggestions from the Internet, iTunes, the App Store, nearby locations, and more", they may not be inclusive.

And I gather the location service is enabled.  (From above: If you don’t want Siri or Spotlight to suggest nearby locations, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Then tap System Services and turn off Safari & Spotlight Suggestions.)

Thanks for the update.
