How to Delete Game Pigeon from iPhone
By following a few simple steps, you can delete GamePigeon from your iPhone. Here’s what you have to do:
- Launch the ‘Messages’ app (which is iMessage)
- Open any conversation and click on the ‘A’ button
- Below the text bar, you can see a bunch of different applications. On the right side, there are three dots – press on that. If you don’t see the dots immediately, try to slide the apps to the left to see it.
- When you’ve pressed the button with three dots on it (also known as More), you’ll see a pop-up that shows all of the apps. Scroll down until you see GamePigeon and slide it to the left.
- Sliding GamePigeon to the left will bring up a ‘Delete’ button, simple press on it and the app will be deleted
Once you’ve followed all of these steps, GamePigeon will be successfully deleted from your iPhone. If it’s not going away, try to restart your phone or to force close the iMessage app. Then try to delete it again and it might work.
How to Hide GamePigeon on iPhone

How to reinstall GamePigeon on your iPhone
Sometimes, you delete an app because you don’t need it anymore. But that can change with time and you might want to get it back.

In any case, when you’re ready to reinstall GamePigeon again, you just have to follow these simple steps.
- Open the App Store in your iPhone
- Inside, search for GamePigeon
- When its page shows up, click on the ‘Get’ button
- If it says Open instead of Get, that means you already have the app installed
