How to turn off the 'Shared With You' feature on iPhone and iPad

All of these apps have a new section called Shared with You, which contains links and content shared via iMessage.

For example, if someone shares a link to an article for you, you'll see a Shared with You section when you open the Safari start page.

It is worth mentioning that this item will not disappear even after you have opened the link sent. If you feel uncomfortable with this feature, you can completely disable it on a specific application.

Turn off 'Shared With You' feature on iPhone and iPad

First, click the gear icon on the home screen to open the ' Settings ' app on your iPhone or iPad.

In the Settings menu, click ' Messages '.

Next, click on the ' Shared With You ' section.

If you want to disable this feature across all applications, click the switch to the right of the ' Automatic Sharing ' option to turn it off.

In case you only want to disable this feature on an app-by-app basis, it can be disabled in ' Music ', ' TV ', ' Safari ' or the 'Photos' app, by switching the corresponding toggle switches. to the right of each application to the off state.

Exit Settings and from now on, when you open a specific application, the Shared with You section will no longer appear as before.

If you want to re-enable this feature, simply navigate to Settings > Messages > Shared With You , then re-enable 'Automatic Sharing' for each specific app.

Wish you always have a good experience with your iPhone!
