Apart from making phone calls, perhaps two of the most popular things to do on our iPhones are texting on iMessages and playing games.
Well, what if you combine both of them and play while you chat? Yes, it’s possible to play iMessage games on your iPhone while you’re texting with your contacts. We think it’s pretty cool and, of course, fun! So let’s begin.
You’ll need internet access, and your friend needs to install the game on their iPhone as well.
How to Play games in iMessage

- Swipe and tap the game icon from the bottom row of apps inside the conversation.
- Select a game out of around 24 games. I’m choosing 8 Ball.
