Disabling iMessage for Child Account
My son (8yo) has an iPad that we have fully “locked up” - he can only watch shows, play select games. He can’t download anything without permission, has no open internet access, etc. It is also attached to his own Apple ID which is handled under our “Family” account.
On the iPad - he can use the iMessage app (only recently found this out when he texted me randomly). I’d like to completely disable this feature, but can’t figure out how. The toggle to disable under Apps - Messages is greyed out and I can’t change it. I also see no way to change this in my Family app center.
Any tips on how to fix this? Feels like it should be much easier to do this but I can’t sort it out.
