Delete or Hide Messages app on iPad

I have a 7th gen iPad (10.2 inch) running iOS 13.5.1. I've disabled iMessage and facetime and I've deleted the facetime app. How can I delete the Messages app?

iPad, iPadOS 13

You can’t but you may be able to use screentime to disable that app

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


One note, do not forget that passcode that you have to set. But also do not let the person you want to lock out know it or it defeats the purpose of the app.
