iOS 9, is there any way to disable Game Center?

I really hate Game Center. It's been bad with the last couple of iOS releases, and there was always some way around disabling it...until I updated my 6 Plus to iOS 9. Really, I WANT TO DISABLE THIS STUPID APP! Has someone figured it out, or do I have to hit cancel every time it comes up?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9

Hello, sberman.


What you meen cancelling out of the "log in to Game Center" request being made from the game


Please, describe step by step?


As you understand in IOS 9 for many users (not for all users) game center works very very slow. It works, but very very slow!!!

If you recovery iPhone to stolen - GAME CENTER start to works GOOD, but after recovery BACKUP - problem appears again.

If I open the game I am waiting game center notification window very very long and cancel game before game center starts.

Well I seem to have just gotten the game center welcome back/sign in nag screen to turn off, which had been coming up every single time I minimized or restarted a game even though I was not signed in to it, and had it disabled in notifications.


I triple checked that I was signed out of game center, and I was. I pressed the "forgot apple ID" found in "settings-> game center" twice. Maybe three times. I did it a lot.


I fired up Uprising and bam, no more game center welcome screens.

iOS 9 seems to have made this problem worse than any previous iOS version. Yes, this is an annoyance that we customers should not have to bear. Even canceling 3 times for every game which participates in Game Center is too much. But now even that doesn't seem to work, or if it does works it doesn't last. Each iOS update increment or app update restarts the Game Center prompts ad nauseum. That didn't used to happen in past iOS versions. t would like to reach into the device and rip out Game Center by its neck! I tried Division's suggestion to cancel out from the Settings but that did not work for me. Why do we have to put up with this, Apple? Stop telling us what we want and give us the choice to simply turn off Game Center permanently. Are you even listening?
