It's detailed in the help page, the link to which is on the same settings screen that contains the switches to turn off.
Likewise on MacOS, there's a 'About Spotlight Suggestions & Privacy' button on the Spotlight settings page. Again, it's on the same screen that contains the switches to turn off the feature.
You don't need internet access to find these options, and I can't think of a better place to put the help. Knowing that these options exist in the first place is another problem though...
- 0x0 11y agoIn iOS9, there's at least "Siri Suggestions" at the top, then intermixed with all your apps there's "Bing Suggestions" and "Spotlight Suggestions", then there's a "Suggested Apps" in the separate "Handoff & Suggested Apps" settings screen, then there is "Suggested Apps" in the "App and iTunes Store" settings screen, then there is "Safari Suggestions" and "Search Engine Suggestions" in the "Safari" settings screen. I have no idea what half of these actually do though. Very confusing.
- joosters 11y agoConfusing, definitely. But in the context of your initial question, bringing up the Siri settings seems a little strange. By definition, if you are using Siri, you are using a remote query... Likewise, if you have hand-off enabled, it's going to be talking over the internet, how else can it work?
