How do I remove the gifs app from messages in iOS 17?

With previous updates, it was possible to choose which ‘additional apps’ are accessible on messages (at the bottom of the screen when typing a message). IOS 17 seems to automatically install the gifs app, and I don’t see how to disable it.

explicit content in the gifs search is not blurred or blocked in any way.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Please fix this. This is extremely important. Taking this feature aware encourages children’s consumption of nsfw content and mindless gif scrolling.
