turn off safari suggestions in ios 11

I turned off predictive on keyboard as well in case that had anything to do with it! Plus the siri/spotlight search in safari. (Screenshot below) It’s mainly just irritating but also worrying that terms like the ones above could pop up when eg. my niece has stolen my iPad as she normally does. I even tried changing the search engine to others in case it was a google thing but again no luck.

Yeah, I take it back. My suggestions have just come back, as random and disturbing as before.

There doesn’t seem to be an obvious setting to disable this. The annoying thing is that the suggestions are too erratic to be useful, even if I wanted this feature switched on.

Oh boy, that is disturbing. I’ve got some pretty odd suggestions too but nothing that bad. I want it turned off. I don’t like the privacy implications here because it seems the page contents are being analyzed somehow and suggestions are being sent back to the keyboard to show suggestions. Have we consented to Safari sending back info to Apple on our browsing habits? Has anyone tried this in private mode? If this send info back in private mode, it is a real abuse of privacy.

Did anybody manage to solve this? I turned off every possible setting, yet just a few moments ago I was on a website about pyeongchang and when I wanted to search for something else, safari suggested “Air Busan”

Incredibly annoying!

Hi Daniel - did you solve this? My husband & I have the same issue with all our Apple mobiles - you used to be able to toggle off all the search suggestion/preload top hit boxes in Safari Setting and it actually did what you asked it to do - now they're all toggled off but we get the suggestions etc just the same. It's been worse since the latest update (11.2.6)!

Is there any way to push this issue, been on the phone with applecare and they say it is not a known issue, I say rubbish. They claim I am the only one with it and that I must do a backup and restore, I have searched and others have also did a backup and restore and the isdue has not been solved. Apple will never admit to a problem but will quietly do an update but not admit a problem. Applecare refuses to send it to the engineers, Apple is a tightly knit company whete employees cannot rock the boat. This keyboard issue is totally annoying and apple might have domething sinister about it maybe for advertisers? Who knows. But there must be a way to fix it, Apple must know about it by complaints but completely ignoring it. Applecare is of no help, on my mac for over 2 years on safari I get the beach ball and must force quit also safari will not open some web pages chrome will and applecare says my imagination.

I’m having this same problem- have you found a solution?

Thanks

Would dearly love an answer to this too. It's completely unacceptable that you can't turn it off as it's essentially identifying metadata.

This is the exact problem that I am having. Extremely annoying that a fix hasn't been put through yet.

I've already got that turned off - unfortunately I'm still getting the suggestions.

It would be nice if apple could sort this **** out...

I too have posted about this. Seriously need a solution.

Change your settings to the following. In Safari settings. This would do the job...

Thanks, but those ARE my settings! That's the problem 😉
