In some instances it can. For instance, if you search for NBC news, and you don't have that app installed it may suggest it.
The regular app suggestion before searching for anything, should not suggest anything you don't already have installed or even anything that is offloaded.
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.
Just by bringing down Siri Suggestions?
Or did you search for something?
If you search for something it may consider requires it, I may suggest it yes, but you would need to actively search for something.
It won't just suggest it out of the blue for no reason.

I'm sorry. I misunderstood. When I search.
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.
Thanks, so if I don’t have say, Instagram, it won’t show up on the suggestions?

It might.
Why would it do that if I’ve never had it or searched for it in App Store?
Because it also searches the internet.
If I’ve not searched it on the internet either though? Sorry I’m just trying to workout how it works as my nephew said he has never had it etc.

I've had it happen.
I spotted in the phone and my nephew said they’ve not got it download onto the phone but it was there clear as day on Siri suggestions
Ok Thankyou I appreciate your help :)
