disabling text reactions

When will the iOS update include the ability to disable iMessage reactions to texts? Not disabling the notifications, but disabling the actual ability for people to respond to your texts with the reactions feature (heart, thumbs up, etc). I truly dislike this feature and would like to disable it as an option that I'm able to receive in response to texts.

iPhone 7, iOS 11

Turn off Tapback/ reactions on iMessage Hi, I have a sister who is autistic and has many repetitive behaviors. It is important that she be able to text us and she loves her iPhone. However, she cannot stop sending hearts and hahas on each and every message and changing them back and forth. We have all had to mute notifications from her but this is not the safest option. Apple please please please make a way to turn off the Tapbacks/ text reactions on iMessage.

Disable AI Notification Summaries How do I disable the "Apple Intelligence" notification summaries? Specifically for Messages. I'm on iPhone 16, iOS 18.2. More often than not, the summary provided is not a reasonable summary of the message. I just don't ever want any message or notification or email summarized on any device or application. My life isn't so busy that I need to shred two seconds off of reading a text. I want to know that I received a message and then I want to open and read that message. I currently have Summarize Notifications set to Off. In the settings for Messages, I have AI & Siri turned off and I have Summarize Messages turned off. Is there a universal setting somewhere to just never summarize anything?

TURN OFF SCREEN TIME REQUEST SPAMMING IMESSAGE This is getting frustrated now. No matter how many negative comments about screentime requests being dropped on iMessage, iOS developers still not getting it!!!! Can this be made optional? We should have an option where it’s delivered via notifications like the old versions of iOS via iMessage (which no one will opt) or maybe i just dont know this option exist already. My iMessage is now flooded with these screentime requests and it is now getting a burden searching for important messages.
