I submitted my app to App Review on June 5, 2026, and it has remained in the "Waiting for Review" status ever since. As of today, it has been waiting for review for 16 days without any updates from Apple.

This is my first time experiencing such a long delay, and I wanted to ask if anyone else is facing similar review times recently or if there is anything I can do to expedite the process.

App Details:

Submission Date: June 5, 2026 Current Status: Waiting for Review Waiting Time: 16 Days

Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've had a submitted app in the same situation. Had two apps published earlier this year, each took under 72 hours from submission to review to approval.

This one was submitted June 5 and has been stuck in waiting for review. Submitted an expedited review request on June 9th with no word from apple since. Called Dev Support who stated its progressing along the queue as expected and to be patient. That was a week ago with nothing further since.
