Remove #images from messages. I had images removed from my child’s phone. With one of the more recent updates it is back and the same option to turn it off is gone. Please Apple… there are images I don’t want my children to see! make this easier to protect our children. Is there another way to remove this?

Spotlight Search and Screentime content restrictions IOS Developers; would you please incude the option to disable spotlight search's Web suggestions within Screentime's content restrictions settings? Spotlight search can be used to view explicit and innapropriate images from the web via webimage suggestions related to the search term. A user can simply prompt for pictures from a website of their choice and spotlight will provide dozens of pictures related to the prompt. The inability to disable this feature behind the screentime wall is the sole reason IOS devices can not be fully safe for kids or those working on not viewing inappropriate content. If this were fixed, Iphones could be suitable for these groups of people who need web content restrictions. This is the sole reason I have sold my Iphone for a "dumbphone". I would only purchase an Iphone in the future if this feature were implemented.

#images cannot be removed sorry.

If you need it to be restricted or unavailable for some reason, you can tell Apple directly and if enough people do, they may choose to add a method of removal or restriction.
