IPHONE has a secret tool that allows you to play games with friends – and many of them are free.
It’s all tucked away in the iMessage app.
To use iMessage, the other person will obviously have to be using an iPhone too.
How to play games in iMessage
All you need to do is open the app and select the person you want to play a game with.
At the bottom, you will see the App Store logo.
Tap this, and a message will appear, saying: “App Store for iMessage.”
Go to Visit Store and a special page of downloads for iMessage will appear, much like the usual App Store.
Scroll down to Play Games on iMessage and tap See All.
Here you’ll get a full list of titles available, many of which are free.

However, most of the free ones have in-app purchases, so be careful of course.
There are a selection of paid games as well that don’t cost much.
Once you’ve downloaded it, select Open and it’ll generate a request to send to your friend.
Hit the send button and wait for their response – you might need to hold on a few minutes while they install the game too.
When you want to play the same game again, you don’t need to go through the App Store.
Slide along the bar along the bottom until you see the game’s image.
The App Store for iMessage has plenty of other non-gaming treats too, like sticker packs.
