When is 14.3 from the guidelines necessary?

So I sended my new app to Apple waiting for review and yesterday I got an rejection. who was saying the following:


It is necessary that you put all of the following precautions in place:


- Require that users agree to terms (EULA) and these terms must make it clear that there is no tolerance for objectionable content

- Use moderators to flag and remove inappropriate content and offensive users

- Users need a mechanism to flag objectionable content and report users generating this content

- Developer must act on objectionable content reports within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the user who provided the offending content

- Developer needs a method for ejecting users who violate the terms of the EULA


I have made an app which has similarities with a social app. It does work a little bit like Whatsapp, but certainly not all of it 😉 .


Nothing in the app is public so there is nothing that can be sended to all users or can be seen by all users. When I look at Whatsapp I do not see any button that I can use for reporting an message or image or whatever. Then why should I do it?


What are the cases when I should get the data from users checked and when not when they flag it? When is 14.3 necessary and when not?

It is possible Apple Review have misunderstood what your app does. Explain it to them

in the resolution center. If they still insist 14.3 is appropriate, then your app is doing things

that make it a requirement and you will have to meet those requirements to pass review.
