The phone stops offering you apps

iPhone · Free · built in

What it does

Stops the phone putting apps in front of you in search, the App Library and on the Lock Screen. Excluded Apps keeps chosen apps out of search entirely.

Cost

Free, built in.

How to set it up

Settings › Siri › Suggestions, and turn off each switch. To keep an app out of search too: Settings › Siri › Excluded Apps (iOS 27). On iOS 26, suggestions are under Settings › Apple Intelligence & Siri on iPhones that have it.

How easy to get around

Easy: switch them back on.

What people say

People turn it off so opening an app is a decision, not a reaction.
