If it's in the Siri suggestions block, then it's installed on the iPhone, and actively being used. Which is why it gets suggested.


Siri suggestions will not place an app that is not installed in those suggestions for any reason.

Not unless you search for it specifically or something somehow related to it that Siri assumes may require or mean Instagram in some way.


It will not out of the blue suggest Instagram without any other prompt.


Heck I have instagram installed, and I need to actually search for it to get it to appear.


Its highly unlikely to offer any app you don't have installed unless you search for it by name.
