Q: Contacts suggestion corruption
When composing or forwarding an email, click in the address line and begin typing > a pop-up/drop-down appears with a list of suggested addresses.
- The list includes: ALL previous recipients / ALL previous contacts / ALL previous addressees.
- The list appears to include addresses that have never been used or stored on the actual device, but have been used or stored on other devices at some point, but are also no longer actively stored in any Apps on those devices.
Why do these defunct suggestions appear, when?
a) Settings> Contacts>Contacts Found In Apps... is set to OFF.
b) Settings>General>Spotlight Search... everything is set to OFF.
Where is it "pulling" this information from? I was under the impression that the Proactive technology only referenced info' stored on the device.

The same thing happens in Messages App, although the entries in the pop-up/drop-down list differ.
- The suggested lists also includes current Contacts, but displays previous names, e.g.: contact is now labelled as - Ben. At some point previously the contact was labelled as - Jimmys Mate. Jimmys Mate is what shows up as a suggestion!
...It would appear like Mail & Message APPs are additionally referencing against some old database. I noted on iOS 10 device there is some database referred to as RECENTS which is where some of the suggestions are being pulled from.
I was under the impression that the Proactive technology only referenced info' stored on the device.
iPad Air, iOS 10
