Can’t accept friend request - Game Center

I can’t seem to figure out how to get past accepting a friend request from Game Center. When I receive the link to accept, it takes me to the page that says I need the iOS 13 or later. My iPhone is up to date with the latest iOS 15.5 and I’ve also tried restarting it and checking if I have restrictions on the app but nothing seems to work.


If anyone else had this problem, let me know how you solved it!

Hello virg071,


Just to confirm, does this happen with all friend requests you receive? Have you been able to accept friend requests in the past? Are you able to send friend requests successfully? Those details will help us get a better understanding of the issue.


You can find some helpful information about using Game Center to play with friends, and friend requests here: Use Game Center to play with friends


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Open Settings. Scroll to Game Center, then tap it.
2. Tap Friends.
3. Tap Add Friends.
4. Enter the phone number or email of the person that you want to invite to be friends in Game Center, or tap the Add button  to invite one of your contacts. Once that person accepts the request through the Messages app, you'll be able to see them on your list of friends.


Thanks!
