Is there a way to disable imessages being received on an ipad without physically accessing the ipad?

My family shares an apple account. I disabled imessage while I was back home, but it looks like it was reactivated on my mothers ipad. I go to university and she is tech illiterate, so I can't follow the normal instructions of just disabling imessage on the iPad's settings.

Is there a way I can make sure imessages are sent to my iphone, and my iphone only without access to the ipad?

On my phone I'm set to only send a receive imessages from my number and email. Other numbers and emails are available (i.e. mother's) as an option but are not checked.

Not that I know of.

However, if your mother knows enough to know how to use the iPad, even if just to play games, you should be able to talk her through disabling iMessage on the iPad (using your iPhone as a guide for you).

I have to do things like this often with my "tech illiterate" parents and in-laws.
