All,

When my daughter types an email address in mail, it will auto suggest email contacts that I have either written to or in my address book? It will also auto suggest people in my contact list for text messages? How do I disable this? Is this a bug?

And to get this out of the way:

1) I am the family organizer
2) We each have different iCloud accounts and logins - Hers is invited to the family share
3) I've never had my account signed into her phone
4) The auto fill email addresses in the mail app do not show in her contact list
5) I've tried to turn off contacts in iCloud settings, doesn't matter
6) Signed her in and out

Any ideas?

EDIT - If I go into her messages app, and then select the "i" on the auto suggested contact/number I get an option to "remove recent" and then it will no longer auto populated. However that still does not resolve the root cause and why its showing up.
