Hello,

I have a simple app that reposts any media between instagram accounts. It does not store user's IG credentials, user just copies media link, goes to the app and app uses IG API pass it to her IG account.

I received following rejection:

Guideline 5.2.2 - Legal

Your app contains content or features that may violate the rights of one or more third parties. Specifically, your app allows users to upload photos or videos to third-party services that do not support this functionality.

Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please remove any features or functionality that allow users to alter third-party social media accounts.

Any advice what to do here? Basically they are asking to remove a functionality, that is the core feature of my app. I see many other apps like this available in App Store

Thanks

What did you say when you appealed, and what was they reply? How many rejections?

...keeping in mind that no app in the store is evidence another app belongs as well. There may be new rules/policing/enforcement/checks/push back that went into effect between then, and now - lucky you.
