While Siri suggestions can be handy for adding events, further reading, or upcoming actions, the feature isn’t for everyone. We’ll show you how to turn off Siri suggestions on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Turn Off Siri Suggestions on iPhone and iPad
To disable Siri suggestions on iPhone and iPad, you can turn them off completely or only for specific apps.
