Where did the Game Center icon go in the home screen when I installed iOS 10?

iOS and iPadOS

I'm not sure if this belongs to the iOS gaming section of the forum but... Here goes.
Today, when I was planning to launch the Game Center app to check something, I noticed its icon had gone out of its usual spot. I checked out page 1 but it just seems to be some kind of notification center kind of thing, and pages 2-6 which are full of apps I have installed and the preinstalled apps, but Game Center seems to have gone. And I don't think it has been deleted, since I was receiving Game Center challenges last week. Where the heck has it gone now? Or is it accessed through some way different now? :D

hi, no, you haven't lost the plot or anything. the game centre is, in fact, gone. apple removed it, still running the service in the background for apps to link to and so on, but it's actual app, is gone. for more info, one page you might like to read is this. http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/06/20/inside-ios-10-with-game-center-app-gone-invites-are-managed-by-messages

Game Center now I think it's

Game Center now I think it's integrated in iOS, they removed the icon but the settings are still there. I guess now you can access game center info through the games that support it. I'm just guessing, though

not a wonder

Not a wonder the game center icon had vanished from my home screen. But now that the game center app is gone from the home screen, how does one access their friends list now?

just guessing,

Just guessing, but I think you may need to do it from each game. A pain i know, but...

But if my memory serves me right, the game center is still in the settings. I cannot remember where for the life of me, but I know I seen it one time going through settings to find something else. Maybe search for it in settings.
