Hi, there! Hmm, that is a little peculiar. Perhaps there is a way to turn "suggested contacts" off in your SMS or general Settings app?

i get top contacts too, just my work address in the bit at the top where it says "type a name, phone number or email address"

tried deleting my work address from maps and rebooted, seems to have cleared it, just don't have a work address in maps anymore, to be fair i don't think i need traffic advice for 5am morning starts!!!

I just went to messages to look and I get the exact same thing as OP - when I click on the 'Type a name...' bar the box pops up with 'Work...'

Tried dropping a pin for my work address in maps, and yet again it showed up in the top of messages as ' 2 Stane Street'

Deleted it, and now it's gone again....Pixel 2 XL, running 8.0 with the November patch..
