Force quit the app, then open it again
Girlfriend can't play me back on iMessage games (ios10) I send her moves on Words or game pigeon and they just show up as images and not as games. She can send me moves but on game pigeon it asks me to update to the latest version. I have an iphone X and I cant figure out how to quit the game once I am done playing. I had to hard reboot my phone in order to get it back to the home screen so I could use my phone. Id like to play this but need to be able to quit once done!
