In Android 6.0.1 I got this unnecessary feature which displays most frequently used apps on top of all other applications.
I don't need it (You can see on the pic the top 4 apps underlined). Is it possible to disable this feature at all?

There was recently an update (Android 7.1.2) that makes the previous answer incorrect, the new directions are as follows:

  1. Press and hold on the home screen until this dialogue appears:
    1. Then simply press the settings icon and change the one that says app suggestions.
