How to Remove Suggested in Messenger
Your previously uploaded phone contacts are the basis for Messenger’s suggested contacts. If you give Messenger permission to access your contacts, anyone you contact who has a Facebook account but isn’t a friend will probably show up as suggested.
As a result, you must delete the uploaded contacts by taking the actions listed below:
That’s it, all suggested will be removed from Messenger. Sign out of Facebook and Messenger on all of your devices, then sign back in if you continue to see the suggested.
Clearing your browser’s cookies will remove any Facebook and Messenger-related ones. The individuals might have remained in your suggested list for a few days before the cache automatically cleared if you hadn’t done that.
You shouldn’t see any suggested contacts in your Messenger sidebar who aren’t your friends when you sign back in. Due to the de-linking of your account from phone numbers in your contacts book that you had previously uploaded to Facebook
This approach will prevent Messenger from accessing your phone contacts, resulting in the disappearance of all suggested contacts from your Messenger.
Facebook Messenger can no longer access your phone contacts as of right now. As a result, your Messenger will no longer display those suggested friends.
Additionally, you must refrain from selecting the blue Update All Contacts button. The opposite of what you want will happen if you tap on it: your contact information will be synced with Facebook.

What is the Suggested List on Messenger
According to your interaction and activity with friends on Facebook, the Facebook Messenger Suggested list generates a list of friends for you.
Activities like liking, commenting, sharing, and visiting profiles, among others, assist Messenger in suggesting a list of friends to you without requiring you to search for them yourself.
As your activities change over time, Messenger’s algorithm learns from it and refines this suggested list.
Previously Had A conversation even Chat Deleted
There’s a decent chance that you’ve spoken to the person you’re seeing in the suggestions list before. The suggestions list generally includes friends.
However, if you are seeing a user who is not a friend, it is likely because you had a chat with them but decided to delete the conversation for some reason. You won’t be able to tell whether you messaged the user or not if the chat is removed from the chat list, but there is a good chance that this could also be a possible cause.
If you want to be certain, you can message the user and ask them directly if you’ve spoken to them before or not.
