A blocked text app results in...

  • The orange_messages_app.png Messages app becoming greyed out and inaccessible.

Delete Texts

By default, texts they send or receive cannot be deleted on the Messages app, though you can change that setting at any time.

  • If they download a third-party texting app, they may be able to delete texts outside of your intended rules — consider enabling App Approval to prevent that from happening!
