I hope most people are familiar with Siri Suggestions for apps on the lock screen and Home Screen, and use most apps on iOS devices. But let’s here we discuss a little bit on ‘’What is Spotlight search Siri App Suggestions in iOS?’’ for the newbie. It works as a shortcut productivity feature that you can get on the home screen by swiping down from the middle of the screen and on the lock screen into the widget screen by swiping the bottom. This function is enabled by default on the iPhone and iPad. It gives you a quick shortcut to apps (up to eight recent or most-used apps) based on location, or it thinks you want to use like other factors. Those guys, who don’t want to access it, don’t worry. You can disable it permanently. You have to follow this thread to disable or turn off Siri App Suggestions in iOS on iPhone and hide Siri App Suggestions on the iPhone lock screen.

I also want to delete some of the apps from the Siri App’s suggestions. Even though, still, there isn’t any official trick to remove apps from Siri Suggestions. However, yes, you can disable it for all time.
