Remove App Store icon from messages UI

Hi,


Is there a way to remove the App Store icon from the iMessage interface in iOS?


In fact, can Apple release a feature that allows you to hide the app bar or remove it completely?


When typing messages quickly, I have incidentally hit the App Store icon multiple times. I have also *never* had cause to send any App Store info in a message.


I have 0 use for it. It seems like something that should be optional.

How do we get Apple to let us remove it? The Messages UI should be more configurable.
