Waiting for Review - Stuck

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or to see if anyone else is experiencing similar delays lately.

I submitted an update for my app on February 4th, 2026, but it has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status ever since. Usually, the transition to "In Review" happens much faster for my previous updates.

Here is the timeline so far:

• Feb 4th: Submitted the update.

• Feb 13th: After 9 days of silence, I opened a support ticket to inquire about the delay.

• Today (Feb 23rd): Still no response to the ticket and no change in the App Store Connect status. I haven't received any requests for additional information.

Has anyone else encountered such a long wait time recently?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You're not alone. Many people are having the same issues

I have the same issues. Submitted my update on February 8th. 3 days later gets rejected and they require a demo video although no new functionality was added. I respond with a video in 30min and wait again 5 days for them to reject my update and ask info how to do basic stuff that were there for 4 versions. I again answered in a 30min time window and didn't hear back for another 4 days. I rejected the update myself and resubmitted it right away, the update got in review in 4 minutes. I contacted the support over the contact us forms twice and once via Hotline. Long story short it has been almost 16 days and I am still waiting for a response.
