I am running iOS 9.5 on an iPhone 5s.
I have absolutely no wish to play games with other people, and I never shall. It is therefore very annoying when the Game Centre keeps launching itself whenever I open a game on my phone and I am fed up with constantly having to cancel it.
Can I disable the Game Centre permanently and if so how?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2
You could try going to Settings - Game Center and logging out/disabling all options.
I'm not logged in, and never have been.
James, since you have never logged in (and are thus logged out) go to Settings > Game Center > and turn Allow Invites and Nearby Players to OFF (not green). Also turn Contacts and Facebook to OFF (again not green). Then under Settings > Notifications > Game Center > turn Allow Notifications to OFF. See if that helps....
Alas there are no such options within the Settings - Game Centre. I'm thinking they may only appear if one is signed in.
As you suggested I have turned off the Game Centre Notifications.
Still no luck 😟
Ok... try this and see...
If it does not work, all I can then say is that you are in good company... see this:
James - You have to log in to Game Centre using your Apple ID, turn all the options off and then log out of Game Centre.
thanks - but alas no help either
Sorry.... but as I mentioned you are in good company, see here:
How To Stop Game Center Banner From Popping Up In Games?
May want to send Feedback to Apple, they read all messages (trust me on this one) and if enough people do, they may take action:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that but still no luck. **** thing still pops up
still no joy. I shall do as you suggest and moan to Apple feedback
This has been driving me crazy! I think I figured out a solution...
Go to settings
General
Restrictions
Accounts- click on don't allow changes
Worked for me..Hope it helps!
Yay! So far so good. Thank you.
Yo Rock!!! This worked!! No more stupid game centre sign in.
how can I permanently disable the Game Centre?
