Unable to Remove GameCenter from iCloud sync

I do not sync ANYTHING with iCloud.

I still will find that GameCenter has chosen to sync (even though I have strict ScreenTime settings restricting GameCenter).

Usually, I am able to turn the syncing back off.

However, for the last week when I try to turn ‘sync’ off my screen will freeze. I have to close ‘Settings’ to unfreeze.

When I reopen ‘Settings’ and return to check iCloud sync- GameCenter is still chosen to sync.

Additionally, when I try to go to GameCenter and confirm I am not signed in I am not able to even access it. I will only receive the spinning circle trying to load.

This is not due to ScreenTime settings. The GameCenter sync & ‘signed in’ situation is reoccurring.

Only previously I have at least been able to change/ access the settings.
