Family Controls (Distribution) Request Pending for More Than 4 Days

Hello,

I submitted a request for Family Controls (Distribution) approval, and it has now been over 4 days without any update on the status.

I understand that review times can vary, but I wanted to check if this delay is expected or if there’s anything I might need to do on my end to help move the process forward.

Could anyone from the Apple team or the community provide insight into:

Typical processing times for Family Controls distribution requests Whether delays beyond a few days are common Any steps I should take to follow up or expedite the review

For reference:

Status: Submitted

Submission time: April 21, 2026

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
