Trying to uninstall GamePigeon from iMessage on your iPhone or iPad?
Playing a couple of games with your friends over your iPhone can be a really cool pastime. Personally, we love playing Chess with our teammates here at Saint. However, it can be a really annoying experience when uninstalling these games.
The instructions aren’t provided, and the steps aren’t intuitive. Luckily, we’ve scoured the internet and experimented on our own Apple devices to find out how you can uninstall and even reinstall these games on your iPhone or iPad.

Although the games are still popular today, a lot of users do want to get rid of it. The only kicker is that it can be really troublesome to do so. Uninstalling these games, as we found out, is pretty simple but without a guide can be nearly impossible to figure out.
Well, here’s how you can uninstall GamePigeon on your iPhone or iPad:
- First, open up iMessage and tap on the conversation where the game is. You can also start a new conversation if you don’t want to have to look through your messages.

- Next, swipe all the way to the right until you reach the end. Tap on the three dots to continue.

3. Pinning Conversations on iMessage.
One of the best features that iOS 14 added into our iMessaging experience is being able to pin conversations. We’ve all tried scrolling through numerous conversations just to reply or text someone we always talk to.
By pinning your messages, you’ll be able to access these contacts easily. These messages will remain pinned at the top portion of your iMessage interface, for ease of access. Furthermore, these icons are displayed in a 3 by 3 orientation, so you’ll have a maximum of nine pinned contacts.
How to pin conversations:
- Start by opening up iMessage and looking for the contact you want to pin.
- Now, swipe the conversations you want to be pinned to the right. A yellow pin should appear on your screen.
- Lastly, you can either tap on the pin or swipe your message to the right again to finally pin your message.
There are a couple of other ways you can do this, and you can quickly read more about it here. With that, you can start pinning your conversations! This will work for both individual and group messages.
4. Alert Your Friend Through Mentions.
Another quick and simple addition to iMessage is being able to specifically mention an individual in a group chat. This way, even if they have notifications turned off, they’ll still be notified that they were mentioned.
This is especially useful if you’re the type to mute group conversations, we understand that they can be annoying. The mentioning feature used to be exclusively available for Messenger or other third-party applications but, thanks to iOS 14, iMessage can do it now too.
Start mentioning your friend by simply typing ‘@’ and their name, then tapping on the profile highlighted. Your iPhone should cycle through your contacts to look for the person you’re trying to mention.
Other than that, Apple added a lot of other updates on iOS 14 that we can’t fully cover here. Feel free to check their official list of new features on their website.
