| Description | ||||
| This works only with supervised devices (mobile device management [MDM]) and allows users to disable Apple Game Center. The rationale is that Game Center is using Apple ID and will share data on AppleID-based services; therefore, Game Center must be disabled. This setting also prohibits the functionality of adding friends to Game Center. | ||||
