It used to be that #images could be restricted in Messages if Restrictions were enabled in Preferences and "installing apps" turned off as in these steps:

Turn on parental controls for #images and other iMessage apps
To control access to #images and other iMessage apps, you can remove the apps from your app drawer and turn on Restrictions for downloading iMessage apps.

To remove an app from your app drawer:

  1. Open Messages, tap
    ios7_compose_icon.png
    , and enter a contact or tap on an existing conversation.
  2. Tap
    ios11-messages-app-drawer-inline-icon.png
    , then tap
    ios11-messages-app-drawer-more-apps-inline-icon.png
    in the lower-left corner.
  3. Swipe left over the app, then tap Delete.
To turn on Restrictions for iMessage apps:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
  2. Tap Enable Restrictions.
  3. Create a Restrictions passcode. You need your Restrictions passcode to change your settings or to turn off Restrictions.
  4. Turn off Installing Apps.

But, now this does not work. Does anyone know how to restrict #images in iMessage currently?

Thanks!
