 * I have added these lines to my wp-config.php:
 *     ```
       define('AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true );
       define('WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE', false );
       ```
   
 * Yet there’s still messages at the top of the screen telling me to update wordpress.
   
   What else must I do to completely disable updates and updatemessages?
 * PS: I prefer native solutions, not plugins.

 * It seems you _have_ disabled them. WP is still going to do its job of telling
   you how far behind you’re getting though. I suppose you could ‘inspect element’
   for the message and craft a css rule to hide it.
    `element-selector {display:
   none;}`

 * So there’s no way to disable the messages about updates as well without having
   to resort to hiding through CSS?
