How to Download an iPhone Game

With your personal pocket computer iPhone, you are now able to do just about anything from anywhere. So add another dimension to your iPhone capabilities. Your iPhone already has Internet access, photo storage and tons of memory, so why not start downloading games to play too. In many cases, you can find free games to play so why not take advantage of the extra feature.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Download from Internet

1. Start at the main screen of your iPhone, which is the one that loads when you turn the phone on. At the bottom is a row of icons. Select "Web" and it will open your iPhone Internet homepage.

2. Look for the browser bar at the top of the next screen. This is where you can type in a website address if you know of a website that you would like to visit to download iPhone games, like Apple.com. You can also search using keywords like download iPhone games to find the games that you would like to download to your iPhone.

3. Toggle through the search results until you find the website you want, that has an iPhone game you wish to download.

4. Download the game directly to your iPhone from this screen by following the instructions on the website. Only download games specifically designed for iPhone. The download will ask you to "Run" and then you can play it.

Sync iPhone Games

5. Add iPhone games to your iPhone by synchronizing them from your home or work computer. Visit websites offering iPhone games like Apple.com on your computer. Find a game you wish to download from the website and download it to your computer, by following the instructions provided by the website.

6. Sync your iPhone to your computer like you would if you were downloading songs to it (simply plug your connection cable into the USB port of your computer.) The iPhone will automatically sync all new software from your computer to your iPhone, just like it adds songs, pictures or other software. The iPhone will download the games from your computer onto your iPhone.

7. Remove the linking cable from your iPhone. The iPhone games will now be available on your iPhone to play.

Tips & Warnings

• Instead of downloading games to your iPhone, play them online as you would play a game on a website on your computer. This saves you a lot of space on your iPhone.
• Avoid P2P games and downloads, as these are illegal to use and can compromise your iPhone because they often come riddled with spyware and viruses.
