iPhone sharing suggestions not showing emails

When I share a link from an app, I always share via email. I used to get the most frequent email addresses I shared to as suggestions in the top row. However, during a recent update (I don't remember if it was 18.0 or 18.1), the email suggestions disappeared and I only get Message contacts as suggestions (shown below), even though I never share via Messages. I would like to get the email suggestions back.


Things I've tried:

  • Restarted phone.
  • Settings | Siri | Show When Sharing is turned on.
  • Settings | Apps | Mail Siri | Suggest App is turned on.
  • In Sharing | Apps | Edit | Favorites I removed Messages and have only AirDrop and Mail left (shown below). After that, I shared links from various apps about 10 times using email, but still only messages are offered as suggestions, not any emails.


Any ideas on how to fix this?



Device: iPhone 12 Pro.

iOS: 18.2.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
