GamePigeon for Android

GamePigeon is one of the popular gaming apps, which was designed for Apple's iMessage users. It is a multiplayer online game where you can play the game with your friends in real time. This gaming platform has become one of the favorites since its release, at least among Apple users (running device on iOS 10). Even if the iMessage is available on Android with additional settings, the GamePigeon service is currently exclusive to Mac, iOS, and iPadOS users.

As the GamePigeon game is designed for iMessage, it is not natively compatible with Android devices. However, the steps and process are pretty tricky if you want to play GamePigeon on your Android smartphone. Since GamePigeon's extension is unavailable on Google Play Store, you need to use a Mac computer for a particular task.

This article illustrates how you can get GamePigeon on your Android smartphone. The steps involve modifying the app's setup, which is more than just downloading an app outside the Play Store.

How Do You Download GamePigeon?

As GamePigeon is the native app of iOS (iMessage), you can't directly download it on your Android, and it is not even available in Play Store. You must do some setup work to get GamePigeon on an Android phone. Before you start, meet the following requirements you need in the setup process:
