What I have experienced is when you keep using the iPhone regularly the contacts with whom you interact or places you go recently and regularly will are learned by Siri.
If you do not interact with contact or stop going to a place then it will disappear automatically.
In an app, the share sheet is populated or refreshed dynamically based on the available sharing options and the content that you are currently viewing. When you open the share sheet in the app, it analyzes the context of the content (such as a photo or a video) you are viewing and presents relevant sharing options.
The share sheet is typically populated by integrating with other apps and services installed on your device. These apps and services register themselves as share sheet providers, indicating that they can receive and handle specific types of content for sharing.
Apps: The share sheet is dynamically refreshed based on the currently available share sheet providers (Apps) on your device. If you install or update any apps that provide sharing functionality and have registered as share sheet providers, the app will include these options in the share sheet upon the next refresh
Context: When you open the app and select a specific photo or video, the share sheet analyzes the context of the selected content to determine the available sharing options. It takes into account factors such as the type of content (photo or video), its size, and any associated metadata.
People/Contacts: When you see a few names of contacts appearing in the share sheet of the app on an iPhone, it is because the iOS system intelligently suggests those contacts based on various factors. Here's how it works:
- Frequent Contacts: The share sheet takes into account your frequently contacted individuals. It analyzes your communication patterns, such as the people you frequently message or email, and may display those contacts as suggestions in the share sheet.
- Contextual Analysis: The iOS system also considers the context of the content you are sharing. It looks at factors like the content type, location, time, and even keywords in your conversations to determine relevant contacts. For example, if you're viewing a photo of a group of friends, the share sheet may suggest contacts who are part of that group.
- Machine Learning and AI: Apple utilizes machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to improve contact suggestions over time. The iOS system learns from your behavior, including your interactions with contacts in various apps, to provide more accurate suggestions in the share sheet.
- Contact Prioritization: The share sheet may prioritize certain contacts based on your interactions and preferences. If you frequently share content with specific individuals, they may appear at the top of the contact suggestions to make sharing more convenient.
