After transferring data to your iPhone XR, you may encounter issues redownloading Game Pigeon or other apps. Check if the app is in your purchase history, ensure your Apple ID is correct, and try restarting your device to resolve potential download issues. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown of troubleshooting steps:

  • Verify Purchase History:
    • Go to the App Store and tap your profile picture. 
    • Tap "Purchased" and then "Not on This iPhone". 
    • Check if Game Pigeon is listed there. 
    • If not, you might have purchased it with a different Apple ID. 
  • Check Apple ID:
    • Ensure you are logged into the correct Apple ID on your iPhone. 
    • Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Apple ID and check the email address and password. 
  • Restart Your Device:
    • Restarting your iPhone can resolve temporary software glitches that might be preventing downloads. 
  • Check for Compatibility:
    • Ensure that the app is compatible with your iPhone XR's iOS version. 
  • App Library:
    • If you can't find the app on your device, use the App Library to find the app. 
  • Content & Privacy Restrictions:
    • If the App Store is missing on your device, you might have Content & Privacy Restrictions turned on. Adjust your iTunes & App Store Purchases settings and make sure that you choose "Allow" for the Installing Apps setting.
