How to Remove the Acrobat Icon and Good Morning Message from iPhone Lock Screen
Question details
The user wants to stop the Adobe Acrobat app icon and morning greeting messages from automatically displaying at the bottom of their iPhone lock screen.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat / iOS
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Viewing the lock screen in the morning or when near another Apple device signed into the same Apple ID.
- Observed behavior
- An Acrobat app icon accompanied by messages such as "Good morning" appears at the bottom left or right of the iPhone lock screen, which cannot be disabled via Acrobat account settings.
Ensure you know your device's passcode, as you will need to unlock your iPhone and navigate through the iOS Settings app to adjust system-level features like Siri Suggestions and Handoff.
Disable Siri Suggestions for the Acrobat App
Turn off Siri's ability to suggest the Acrobat app on your lock screen based on your morning routines.
Apple's iOS uses machine learning to suggest apps you frequently use at specific times of the day. If you regularly open Acrobat in the morning, Siri will place its icon on your lock screen with a "Good morning" message. Disabling this at the iOS level is the only way to remove it, as logging out of Acrobat will not affect Siri's behavior.
Unlock your iPhone and tap on the Settings app from your home screen.
Scroll down the settings menu and tap on 'Siri & Search'.
Scroll through the alphabetical list of your installed applications and select 'Acrobat'.
Under the Suggestions section, toggle the switch next to 'Show on Lock Screen' or 'Suggest App' to the off position.
Turn Off Apple Handoff
Disable Apple Handoff if the Acrobat icon is appearing because the app is currently open on your Mac or iPad.
Manage Your PDFs Seamlessly with WPS Office
If you are looking for a reliable and lightweight app to handle PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets on your mobile device without cluttering your system notifications, try WPS Office. It delivers powerful PDF editing tools and full cross-platform synchronization.
- 1. Download the App: Visit the App Store on your iPhone, search for WPS Office, and download the application.
- 2. Open Your PDF: Launch WPS Office, tap the 'Files' tab, and select the PDF document you want to read or edit.
- 3. Edit and Save: Use the bottom toolbar to highlight text, add signatures, or insert comments, then save your file to the cloud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my iPhone say Good Morning with an app icon?
This is a feature of iOS called Siri Suggestions. Siri learns your daily routines, such as checking a specific app right when you wake up, and proactively suggests that app on your lock screen alongside a greeting like "Good morning."
Will deleting the Acrobat app remove the lock screen icon?
Yes, uninstalling the app will remove its suggestions completely. However, if you still need to use Acrobat, a better solution is to simply disable 'Show on Lock Screen' for Acrobat within the Siri & Search settings.
Can I disable Handoff for just one app instead of turning it off completely?
No, Apple does not currently offer a per-app toggle for the Handoff feature. You must either turn off Handoff for the entire device or close the application on your other Apple devices to prevent the icon from appearing on your iPhone lock screen.
Is the lock screen app suggestion draining my iPhone battery?
Siri Suggestions and Handoff use a minimal amount of background processing and Bluetooth connectivity, so their impact on battery life is generally very low. However, disabling them can marginally improve battery performance.
