Share to app: Remove suggested people to share with (non-rooted Android 14)

When you want to "share" a file to an app, a line of "recommended people to share with" appears above the apps: **Problem**: I often need to perform demos on my phone, and for privacy reasons I do not want my friends to appear there. **Question**: How to disable this feature, meaning that only suggested **apps** will appear? Or at least, how to clear them or remove them one by one? Notes: - My phone is not rooted, Pixel with stock Android 14. - I also post screencasts several times per day, so going very fast is not a solution. Editing each screencast is not realistic either. - Introduced in 2015, this feature is called direct share , and the contacts listed come from a variety of apps, such as Messenger, LINE, Whatsapp, and many others. When I long-press a friend, the only possible action is to pin them. - On rooted phones this might have worked before Android 10: https://github.com/stefansundin/android-disable-direct-share - Apparently on Samsung and LG , direct share can be disabled (*unfortunately Pixel has no such setting*):
