> iOS has a recommended app at bottom left of lock screen. I use it purely as discovery. I've never found acceptable hit ratio of recommended app in my situational context and now I've blindness to that particular place.

Are you sure this is what you think it is? For me that app is always just an iCloud continuity app from my Macbook - like Safari or something.

I do have Siri app suggestions on the spotlight screen, those are typically useless.

It's context cum geofencing. I might be mistaken though.

You're right - looks like the same space is used for continuity/handoff and for the suggested apps - I've never actually noticed a suggested app like that.
