My App stuck in Waiting for Review since 5 feb 2026

Hello,

I submitted my app for review on February 5 at 1:53 PM, and it is still currently showing as “Waiting for Review.” I understand that App Store reviews can take time; however, I’ve noticed that my recent submissions have been taking around 10–12 days before the review process begins.

I wanted to check if there might be any specific issue or reason for this delay. Historically, my apps have only had minor review feedback (for example, small metadata or description adjustments), and no major compliance issues.

For initial reviews of new versions, the waiting time seems significantly longer than expected. I would appreciate any information or guidance you can provide regarding this.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, Raj

App is live now

Update: My first app finally moved to 'In Review' after 15 calendar days (11 business days). I received feedback just six minutes later. It seems a current backlog is causing longer, more typical wait times depending on how the app is routed. Thanks.
