I have my own MacBook/iPhone. I had a company-issued MacBook Air as well and activated iMessage on that device so that I would not miss messages from family/friends. I no longer work for that company, but I know they like to monitor old employee accounts. Can I remotely turn off iMessage on that device? I've looked on Forums but can't quite answer this specific question.
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
You can't remotely turn off Messages. You can change your Apple ID password, which should make Messages unusable.
What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support - I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.

Done, and thank you so much! One final question: If I restore iMessage on my personal laptop, will that still keep it turned off on the old device?
Thank you again!
You are welcome. It should.
Can I remotely turn off iMessage on a single device?
