Privacy concern in native iOS Files app

How do we get Apple to add a setting to permanently turn off, disable, or manually clear the "Recents" timeline in the native iOS Files app. The current design forces users to display an un-cleariable history log of their personal and sensitive documents right on the main screen, creating severe privacy issues and unnecessary visual clutter. Users should have full control over whether their search and file history is tracked and displayed. I am really surprised that Apple and their “security 1st” mantra missed such an obvious feature.
