Disable Suggested Apps iOS 10

As far as I’m concerned, this is a bug and has no solution.

Believe me, I’ve done everything and I know iPhone like the palm of my hand.

What Chris suggests apparently solves the problem, but as soon as you move to a different location, you get the absurd icon back again. I’ve disables the related options in the location service too, but it keeps coming and I get the icon suggestion of apps I haven’t even opened like Music app.

The thing is, why would Apple eliminate the settings that could disable it?

Why would they try to link this problem to the widget Siri Suggestions?

The simple answer for me is it’s a bug they don’t want to recognise which eventually will solve (I hope) within the next weeks.

By the way, I have two iPhones and I only get the app suggestion icon only on one of them. Both iPhones share the same settings. So that’s weird too.

i was able to disable app suggestions completely by disabling Location-Based Suggestions along with Siri app suggestions widget.

It's funny that i would like to enable that option, but i cannot find where 🙂

My wife's iphone has the option on, i have it off, and both cannot cuange that setting!

I got mine off just now. Not only did it appear in my lock screen but transparent on the bottom of my homepage as a little tab. Drove me crazy! Said "based on your location". This is what I did ....

Settings >Privacy>Location>System Services

TURN OFF LOCATION BASED ALERTS

TURN OFF LOCATION BASED SUGGESTIONS

Hope it helps. i thought it was a handoff feature because of my Apple Watch, but turns out this did the trick.

Limit what can be seen on your iPhone lock screen

Thanks to iOS 10’s new ‘Raise to Wake’ feature, iPhone users can pick up their devices and quickly get a glance at their notifications and other pertinent information. This can be extremely convenient but also worrisome if you’re worried about privacy and someone just picking up your phone and seeing what you’ve got going on.

Not to worry, iOS 10 lets you granularly control what type of information shows up on the lock screen when Raise to Wake is called into action. To take more control of your lock screen, simply go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and scroll down until you see this screen.

Thank you Chris. Worked for me. Now off to look at tips and tricks.

1: Go to Settings.

2: Next, Tap onGeneral.

3: Under General, Tap onSpotlight Search.

4: DisableSiri Suggestions

This worked for me

That took care of the issue for me. Thanks! I wish it weren't so unintuitive. Some of these new "accessibility" features are both infuriating and challenging to disable.

Hi Chris

I think you've misunderstood the question. We want to exclude particular search results for app a particular app NOT within an app or suggested app.

To delete all siri app suggestions your tip is OK

But how you delete from siri app suggestions ONLY ONE app in iOS 10?

I suggest that any apple device should ask for password Before turning off as well the turning on, because many steal our devices and off it immediately at least we can trace it before anything happens thank you

For what the OP was asking, your reply best answered the question. Thank you! I was having the same issue. I removed location queries before iOS 10 and forgot they might have turned them all on again. This was super helpful! Hope more people scroll down and find your suggestion. My loc k screen and switch between screen no longer has the location based icon anymore

It's not a bug; it's intended behaviour.
