IOS 9 - how to get rid of or turn off Game Center

in ios 9 mine would stop bugging me after 3 cancels but with 9.0.1 it seems that you need to cancel more than 6 times in a row before you are granted access to your games. The sign in screen takes over 10 seconds to appear. There should be some way to opt out. In previous versions turning off game center notifications took care of it. But turning notifications on and off didnt help. What an annoyance!

please read the thread before offering an iOS 8 solution...

if it was as easy as logging out of Game Centre and then turning off the Game Centre Notifications, we wouldn't be here!

force closing the game app you're trying to play only works temporarily in iOS 9, then the stupid Game Centre log in page starts appearing again...

that wasn't meant to a reply to you sorry Vicky 🙂

Oh good, I was thinking what did I say! LOL. I did see that the people that want the game center can't log in, so maybe Apple will do something about this soon!

I too suddenly got pop ups for Game Center every time I opened my card game.....maddening ....so maybe iOS9 turned it on ? I found two things....in Settings/Game Center I made sure I wasn't signed in ( never have been ) .....then back IN my card game APP I re checked the settings icon.....and found a new setting for Game Center turned ON....turned it off....and it's no longer popping up .....might have been activated because I lost all my old settings when my Podcast App crashed and I was advised to wipe my iOS9 5s iPhone twice ! It didn't fix the Podcast App....but it's taken me days to put everything back in order....ugh.

Settings>Notifications>Game Center>turn off notifications

Try signing out from the "APP STORE" i am not even signed in with the Game Center and that window comes up everytime I open my puzzle game.

are you kidding?! 😉

if it was THAT easy, do you not think we could have worked that out?!

read the thread!!!

No need to be rude.

If there is any concensus from this thread it's that there is no silver bullet and no easy fix.

This issue goes beyond any single iOS or device. What works for some does not work for others. Since there seems to be no single fix, then there is no single right answer.

I have already signed out of Game Center, and the games I play have nothing available in either their settings or options that have anything to do with Game Center. The only way I have found to stop getting the annoying Game Center login screen from popping up is to put the iPad into airplane mode prior to opening the game. This turns off WiFi and Bluetooth (and cell service if you have it). Since Game Center has no way of talking to the Internet, it doesn't pop up the login screen. Not a perfect way of doing things, but a lot less annoying than having to tell the Game Center that you do not want to log in every time you start a game. You just have to remember to turn airplane mode off again when you really want to run a app that requires Internet access.

The only way that I could stop Game Center from popping up on iOS 9 was to go to the iPhone Settings, then to Notifications, then to the Game Center Notification area and turn off all notifications to it. That disabled it.

I found a similar resolution to ScottP1066, in that I turned off cellular data for the game I was being bothered by and that has stopped the game center login from coming back each time I open the game.

Not as drastic as having to go to airplane mode each time, seems to do the trick and gets rid of the stupid game center that I don't use.

[Edit] This did not work on my iPad, but did work on my iPhone (both running 9.01)[/edit]

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.

This worked for me. Thanks.
