Siri is a virtual assistant in iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS. She acts like a voice assistant who responds to written and audio commands given by the users.
If you are familiar with Siri, you must know that Siri influences your web suggestions. Siri suggestions can be helpful, but sometimes it is unnecessary or overwhelming.
The good thing about these suggestions is that you can influence them or enable and disable them depending on your convenience.
