Why won’t my iMessage games go?

I’m able to send and receive iMessages without any problem however when I send iMessage games they don’t go. I’m even unable to send games that have been sent to me back.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hi koranteng16,


To make sure we're on the same page, you're trying to initiate a game in iMessages with someone? Or are you trying to invite someone? If this is an iMessage app, try removing it and then re-adding it.
