iPod touch Turning off iMessage on iPod

[Primejimbo]

I am thinking of getting my daughter a new iPod Touch. I have an iPhone 4 and 4s and I don't see a way to "shut it off" from her using it. Is there a way to do this?

Settings > iMessage > slide the button to the Off position. This won't remove the icon though. You can't remove it - it's just like Safari, Settings, Calendar or any other app that came with the iPod.

unless you jailbreak it, i forgot the apps name but there is an app which can remove or hide default apps as-well.

Yes, you are right. If you jailbreak your iPod, you can hide default icons using BossPrefs, which can be downloaded from Cydia.

Why do you want to turn it off?

So she can't use it. I don't mind her texting, I can see who she texts and I can turn it off from a computer.

I remember that I read a post is baout the imessage, it said that if you sign into the same account in 2 different Apple device. You can see the iMessage content totally when the other device is sending.
