Hi Dean, To turn off phone number suggestions (Siri contact suggestions) on your iPhone, go to Settings > Contacts > Siri & Search and then toggle "Show Contact Suggestions" to off; this will prevent Siri from suggesting contacts based on your email, calendar, and other app usage. 


Key points:

  • Access settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Navigate to Contacts: Select "Contacts".
  • Choose Siri & Search: Tap on "Siri & Search".
  • Toggle off suggestions: Turn off the "Show Contact Suggestions" option
