Siri contact suggestions based on location are gone in IOS 10? In iOS 9 when swiping left there were contacts to call based on my location, for exemple when i was at work, only the people i call there would show up... i can't activate or find this in iOS 10, only apps based on location.
apple removed the feature? it was super useful :(
 
Theres a favorites widget now instead. Not the same thing really but it can show up to 8 contacts at once.

Yes I know, i have that widget and it's useful for favorites, but when I reach work or university I have to manually search for a contact to call, it's so annoying..

You might want to add some other favorites widgets (or ones like Launcher) if 8 favorites might not be enough. But at the moment it seems like location/time based (proactive) suggestions for various things, including contacts, might no longer be there.

Yes it's sad that apple removed these things. Thanks for the suggestion, cheers!

Yeah I just came across it you can add your favourites as a widget

Yes, you can do that in iOS 10 and 11 also. But previously the widget was not for the favourites, it was a dynamic widget that changed the people on it, depending the location.

Yes I remember it I heard they got rid of it due to privacy reasons maybe they found an exploit in it maybe
