Learn how to hide the little Add to Calendar, Add to Reminders, and Add to Notes buttons that appear as suggestions in the Messages app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate show small prompt buttons based on the message context so you can take quick actions. For instance, if your wife messages you to get eggs and milk on the way home, you’ll see small buttons to quickly add it as a reminder, calendar event, or note.
While useful, they can also get annoying if you don’t want them in the first place. Plus, if you take screenshots of your conversation for printing or other purposes, these suggestions will unnecessarily take up screen real estate and serve no meaningful purpose.
Whatever your reason, you can easily stop these buttons from showing in the Messages app.
Mac
- Open System Settings on your Mac running macOS 27 Golden Gate.
- Select Siri.
- Scroll down and click Suggestions.
- Turn off the switch next to Messages.
If your Mac is on an earlier build of macOS 27, follow these steps instead:
- Head to System Settings > Siri.
- Scroll down and click App Access.
- Select Messages from the list of applications.
- Turn off ‘Show Siri Suggestions in application.’
Return to the Messages app and open the same message that earlier showed these suggestions; you won’t see them anymore.
iPhone and iPad
1) Open the Settings app on iOS 27 or iPadOS 27.
2)Â Tap Siri.
3) Scroll down and tap Suggestions.
4) Select Messages in the list of applications.
5) Turn off Show in App.
If your iPhone is on an earlier version of iOS 27 or iPadOS 27:
1) Go to Settings > Siri > App Access.
2)Â Select Messages from the list of applications.
3)Â Turn off Show in App.
Now head back to the Messages app conversation, and you won’t see the Add to Calendar, Add to Reminders, and Add to Notes suggestion buttons.
If you ever change your mind, just repeat the above steps and flip the ‘Show Siri Suggestions in application’ and ‘Show in App’ buttons back on.
