ios 7 & disable imessage and Game Center

[Karriegal]

We upgraded some of our iPads to ios 7 and are unable to disable iMessage and Game Center. We do not use Apple Configurator as we are a Windows school. The iMessage option IS disabled in the restrictions for this profile group but still shows up on the individual iPads. We deleted the profiles on the iPad and it still came back.

Devices have to be supervised to disable iMessage and Game Center. At this time the only way to supervise a device is with Configurator. Once OTA supervision is allowed then you will be able to do it.

I'm also having the same issue, But I have done everything but its still not removing them...

Yeah either wait for OTA supervision which is supposed to be on the horizon or Supervise the ipads. There are so many nice things about having the devices supervised that its worth getting at least one mac for that purpose alone.
