Game center and iOS 10, is it gone?

Hi,
For some reason, GameCenter is not shown on my phone 5s. I don't know if I had deleted it, or something, but I'm wondering if others have had this issue.

Hi! For some reason, Apple has decided to take Game Center out of IOS 10, so it's perfectly normal not to find it any more on your i-device if you have the latest IOS.

Apparently, friends and invites are handled through the messages app. How it is done, I don't know. I would really like for someone to give me step-by-step instructions.

I heard even here on Applevis that the settings for this app have been moved to Settings itself. Can't confirm this as I don't own an iOS 10 compatible device yet. Apparently, the API and basic settings is still there but the other features that the app provided now have to be implemented by the individual developers in their games themselves.

You did not delete the app, the game center is now in your settings go to settings, and keep scrolling until you find it.

I actually think now that without the gamecenter app, we'll be less cluttered, makes the settings app all the more useful.
