Android share menu random contacts suggested

[ToddMan]

Hi, 

I can't seem to find a way to remove a random contact that keeps appearing when I never speak to that person. Example I will add a new friend on Facebook or match and that person is first on the list when I never even started a convo yet. 

I tried deleting data of Facebook and messenger and share. Clear cache on boot screen. After a day, it comes back. 

There used to be a way to hide those suggested contacts. 

How is this 2024 on s24 ultra and still don't have option for share menu. It doesn't populate the contacts I use in Google message or telegram but it prioritize Facebook Messenger, then Google message, WhatsApp then outlook which I do not want some contacts to show that I never use.

Unknown contact from Facebook Messenger pops back up and I can't do anything about it. Or outlook and WhatsApp. This creates lots of conflicts!!

Hi ToddMan,

Please try to Turn off Contact Suggestions in Specific Apps:

Facebook Messenger: Open Messenger, go to Settings > People and turn off Contact Uploading.

WhatsApp: Go to Settings > Privacy and ensure that sharing or syncing of contacts is off.

These settings may reduce how often contacts from these apps are suggested in your share menu.

Sometimes, contact syncing across apps (like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google) can result in unwanted contacts appearing. To manage this:

Go to Settings > Accounts and Backup > Manage Accounts > Tap on Facebook, Messenger, and other relevant apps > Disable Sync Contacts for these apps.

Thank you.

I don't sync my contact. Everything is turned off. I only have Google contacts and Samsung
