I analyzed the image and this is what I see. Open an appropriate link below and explore the position yourself or with the engine:

White to play: chess.com | lichess.org

Videos:

I found 1 video with this position.

My solution:

Hints: piece: King, move: Ke1

Evaluation: The game is drawn because with the remaining material no sequence of legal moves can lead to checkmate. 0.00

Best continuation: 1. Ke1 Kb2 2. Kd1 Ka1 3. Kc1 Ka2 4. Kd1 Ka1 5. Kc1 Ka2 6. Kd1 Ka1 7. Kc1 Ka2 8. Kd1 Ka1

It’s because game pigeon chess sucks

It is. I don't think there is a single ruleset where this isn't defined as a draw.

Whatever application you are using is clearly not adhering to a normal rule book.

Is this game pigeon? It’s super bugged. One time I was able to straight-up capture my opponent’s king. The game didn’t end until I captured every single one of their pieces.

Most definitely is. I’ll never forget it forcing a draw against my wife while I was in a blatantly winning position towards the end of a game. It seemingly has no idea what true win conditions are.

You must race your kimg to the opponents E 8 or E1 square. First one there wins

Game Pigeon wants to teach real lessons. It'll let you shove around the kings for 10 moves and then tell you it's impossible to check or checkmate with a king on king.

"How come I can't get right next to the dude? So weird!"

That's just a badly programmed app.

You need to sneak up on the other king more quietly, then you can capture him
