Complete Guide: How to Uninstall GamePigeon Correctly

GamePigeon is not a standalone application. It is an iMessage extension installed through the Apple Messages environment. Because of this, removal must be done directly within the Messages system rather than through the standard App Store uninstall process. GamePigeon only exists on Apple platforms and does not install on Android, Windows, or any other operating system.

This document provides an accurate and complete uninstall procedure for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.


Uninstall GamePigeon on iPhone and iPad

Method 1. Remove from the iMessage App Drawer

  1. Open the Messages application.
  2. Open any conversation or start a new message.
  3. Locate the iMessage App Drawer below the typing field. This is the horizontal list of app icons.
  4. Swipe the icons to the left until the More (three dots) button appears.
  5. Tap More to open the list of installed iMessage extensions.
  6. Scroll to locate GamePigeon.
  7. Swipe left on GamePigeon to reveal the Delete option.
  8. Tap Delete to complete removal.

GamePigeon is now removed from the iMessage Apps environment.

Method 2. Remove via iPhone or iPad Storage

Use this method if the extension does not appear in the App Drawer list.

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to General.
  3. Select iPhone Storage or iPad Storage.
  4. Allow the app index to load, then scroll until GamePigeon is visible.
  5. Select GamePigeon.
  6. Tap Delete App to permanently remove it.

This option removes the app and associated local storage. Offload App may appear, but Delete App is required for full removal.


Uninstall GamePigeon on Mac (macOS)

If iMessage is enabled on Mac, GamePigeon may appear inside the Messages environment.

  1. Open the Messages application.
  2. Open any chat thread.
  3. Select the App Store icon near the message input field.
  4. In the extension window, navigate to the Manage or More section.
  5. Locate GamePigeon in the list of available extensions.
  6. Right click the GamePigeon entry or use the contextual options menu.
  7. Select Delete or Uninstall.

GamePigeon will be removed from macOS iMessage.


Important Uninstallation Notes

  1. Game history storage
    Removing the extension does not delete existing game tiles already sent or received in message threads. These entries remain as part of your chat history. To remove them, manually delete the individual message bubbles.
  2. Progress and saved data
    Removing GamePigeon typically clears all associated local game settings and scores.
  3. Platform limitations
    GamePigeon is available only inside Apple Messages. On Android, Windows, or other systems it does not exist, so uninstall procedures are unnecessary.
