How do you clear iOS10 Messages Search History?

Inside the Messages application is the ability to send images and gifs. You can search for addition images and videos through the "Search Images and Videos" option which is powered by Bing.


However, I can find no way to clear your search history for this. How do you clear it? I habe spotlight search off and tried clearing Safari browsing history and cookies, but that didn't do it.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1, null

I would like to know the same, why do you have to use bing, I use apple products to be as far away from anything related to Microsoft, and not being able to control the search feature and it's history is worryingly wrong. I suggest you restore your phone in iTunes and remove this in the iMessages control panel. Apple needs to see that customer loyal to the brand over many years won't put up with this activity. Please sort it!
