How To Prevent Shared With You Splash Screen
Splash screen are highlighting new features and they’re usually showing up the first time you open and app after an important software update.
If, you swiped through the info screens and have acknowledged the new features but the card keeps showing up, proceed as follows:
- Open Settings and scroll for Messages.
- Tap on Shared with You.
- Turn Off Automatic Sharing.
