How to permanently disable Game Center

I keep logging out of game center, but there’s one game I play that doesn’t want to take “no” for an answer and either prompts me to sign in to GC, or just signs me in automatically. I don’t play games with other people and do not want this app on my phone. How do I delete either the app or my GC account? Both, preferably.

nicolecinri,


Thanks for the further details. GameCenter is not an app on your iPhone and is unable to be deleted from iOS or iPadOS. Game Center is tied to your Apple ID and will be found in Settings > Game Center. You can make your profile private and turn off requests, finding nearby players and connecting with friends here. You can read more about doing this in the following article: Use Game Center to play with friends.


If you are unhappy about the game app using Game Center, then we'd advise contacting the developer and leaving feedback. Here's How to contact an app developer.


"Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app


  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button  or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
  3. The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID."


Have a fantastic day!
