Random Game Center Nickname

Random profile name appeared in my Game Center. I didn’t create the name and can’t delete it in Game Center settings. Anyone else have this happen?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hi Lottalo2,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. From our understanding you are seeing a Nickname in your Game Center that you did not set up, do we have that right? Are you signed into your Apple ID on the device? If you didn't pick a nickname, it's possible a randomly generated one. You should be able to tap in the nickname field and change the name. If you do not want to use game center, you can scroll to the bottom and sign out.

Hope that helps!
