Q: Game Center icon shows friend request numbers but when I open nothing. I've also requested many friends but nothing either. What's wrong?

My Game Center icon shows friend requests (numbers next to the icon) but when I open GC there's nothing. This has bn happening for a month now. I need friends for my games. What's going on n how can I fix this? I hv the latest OS update.

    Right now Game Center seems to be in limbo. For those running iOS10, we don't have the app at all. We do still have game center in the settings, but all we can do is sign in, sign out or dump all our friends, nothing else. They are turning over control of friending to the game developers themselves. However, with any of my games, the developers have yet to step up and put the friending procedures into place.

     

    I Understand, in the future, friending and friend request will be handled via iMessage thorugh each game.

     

    Unfortunately, for folks that don't have iOS10, it seems the friends part of game center is broken. So you guys are kinda caught in the crossfire.
