Removing App Store and #images off of iMessages IOS17

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to remove the #images and App Store off of the iMessages app for the IOS17 update. I updated yesterday for my IOS16 and for some reason it brought back those two apps on iMessages when I got rid of them by using the edit tool. is there another way to get rid of or block them?


Thanks!

This seems to be a pattern - in the first version of an iOS release, this feature disappears, and then the response from customers is "hey, I used to have this turned off".


Apple eventually fixes it and allows us to remove apps again from iMessage.


Apple - Please work this into your acceptance criteria when doing QA, this causes a ton of heartache and stress for some of us.
