The iOS Game Center freezing bug, which crashed Game Center whenever it was loaded on an iPad or iPhone, could be fixed with the next release of iOS 9. The iOS 9.3.2 beta is currently out for release and one redditor, who was plagued with the freeze problems, has said that Apple has fixed the issue.
Seriously Game Center, stop welcoming me back to every game I play, causing it to freeze while you pop up your message and I crash and burn.

Apple typically fixes bugs in the 0.0.1 generational upgrades (The current generation is iOS 9.3.1) and saves any major new features for the 0.1 upgrades, as AppleInsider pointed out. The iOS Game Center freezing problem would be the perfect item for Apple to fix in this beta.
Current generation iOS users will have to wait until the official release of iOS 9.3.2 before they can fix the Game Center freezing bug, unless they want to install the beta version of iOS. Buyer beware, however: once you’ve upgraded to an iOS beta there’s no way to downgrade without potentially losing a lot of your data.
Favorite part of Game Center: causes a multi-second UI freeze while playing a game so it can pop in that stupid “You’re Connected” banner _

While you could save a backup of your data now, you would be restoring an image of your iOS device as it is today, meaning everything that occurs after you install the iOS beta would be missing. In the meantime, there is a possible solution to fixing the Game Center crashing problem with this trick.
