contents In this paper, we show that if $(U_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is any nondegenerate linearly recurrent sequence of integers whose general term is up to sign not a polynomial in $n$, then the inequality $ϕ(|U_n|)\ge |U_{ϕ(n)}|$ holds on a set of positive integers $n$ of density $1$, where $ϕ$ is the Euler function. In fact, we show that the set of $n\le x$ for which the above inequality fails has counting function $O_U(x/\log x)$.
