You can also compete for rankings and unlock achievements. However, if you don't want small children adding people without your consent or playing games with people they don't know, it's a good idea to restrict what they can do within Game Center without your permission.</p> <!--break--> <h2>How to block adding friends and playing multiplayer games in Game Center</h2> <ol><li>Launch the <strong>Settings app</strong> on your iPhone or iPad. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>General</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Restrictions</strong>. </li> <li>Tap on <strong>Enable Restrictions</strong> at the very top if they aren't turned on already. If they are, skip to step 6. </li> <li>Choose a 4-digit passcode that only you will know. Never give this to your child. </li> <li>Scroll all the way to the bottom of the restrictions page and you'll find the <strong>Game Center section</strong>. Turn <strong>Off</strong> the options for <strong>Multiplayer Games</strong> and <strong>Adding Friends</strong>. </li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-restrict-game-center-parental-controls-your-iphone-or-ipad' title="How to restrict Game Center with parental controls on your iPhone or iPad"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/game_center_restrictions_iphone_howto1.jpg?itok=Atp8cVkz' />[/url]<a href='http://www.imore.com/how-restrict-game-center-parental-controls-your-iphone-or-ipad' title="How to restrict Game Center with parental controls on your iPhone or iPad"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/game_center_restrictions_iphone_howto2.jpg?itok=ZuIX2PDr' />[/url]</p> <p>If you want your child to be able to play multiplayer games but only with people you approve, only disable the option for <strong>Adding Friends</strong>. This way they'll be able to play with anyone they already have added to Game Center but will need to ask you in order to add a new opponent. To do so, simply disable restrictions temporarily, add the person to Game Center, and then re-enable restrictions.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26408"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3da6e364/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
