Disable Siri app suggestions in iOS 10

Hello, I have an issue with iOS 10 and not able to disable Siri App suggestions.

I go to Settings, General, Search with Spotlight and disabled all, but Siri app suggestions remains visibible. I also restarted my iPhone 6 Plus, which didn't help. It just stays.

I really want to get rid of Siri App suggestions. Please help. This seems like a bug in iOS 10.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10

Thank you so much on how to do this. It worked! I ABSOLUTELY HATE SIRI & SIRI APP SUGGESTIONS. It's because there is a nefarious person in my life who sometimes gets ahold of my phone & I don't want him to see what apps. I use most. Yes, I've set my iPhone to be password protected in the minimum amount of time, but sometimes he grabs my phone when I'm not looking. Yes, I should get this person out of my life but he's my husband & I otherwise love him. Thank you so much on how to turn off Siri app suggestions! I personally wish I could jjust delete Siri totally but I guess it's not possible. Many, many, many thanks! Jeff

The Settings -> General ->Spotlight Search -> Siri Suggestions only effect the Spotlight Search. When you swipe on your screen from left to right, you get a page. I'll just call it the widget page... If you see the "Siri App Suggestions" and want to get rid of that from displaying, scroll down to the bottom of that widget page and tap edit. Then you will see the red button to tap and remove if needed. You can alway re-add it by scrolling down within the edit mode and tapping on the green button by the side of the widget that you want to add.
