How do I enable Game Pigeon and MeMoji for iMessage during Screen Time Downtime

So I put Screen Time restrictions on my nephew's phone. He has Downtime on during the day. But I want to enable Game Pigeon and MeMoji during the Downtime, so how do I go about doing that? I went to "Allowed Apps" in Screen Time, but I don't see "iMessage games" or "game pigeon." So how do I enable this, please, if it's possible?

Hello, Seymourne.


I understand that you wish to allow iMessage games for your nephew as an exception to his Downtime and App Limits. I’m happy to look into this with you.


I would first look into allow the entire app iMessage to be permitted during the time in which you have otherwise set limits. As Game Pigeon is housed inside of iMessage, I believe allowing iMessage should do the trick. The same thing goes with MeMojis.


The Apple Support article, Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, will help you navigate adjusting the Screen Time settings.



Best Regards.
