Waiting for Review for 3 days, is this normal lately?

Hey everyone,

I submitted my iOS app (v1.0.4) on Nov 3 and it’s still showing “Waiting for Review” after 3 days. It hasn’t moved to “In Review” yet.

Apple sent me a message in the submission thread earlier that day, so I replied with an attachment and resubmitted. Since then there’s been no new message from Apple and nothing else I need to act on in App Store Connect.

Is anyone else seeing waits like this recently? And how long did you wait before contacting Apple or requesting an expedited review?

Thanks! 🙏

I waited for 9 days to be old that I need to make changes that I submitted that evening and now I have been waiting for anohter 8 days and still stuck in Waiting for Review!!

I spoke to Apple yesterday and there is a big backlog of apps/updates waiting and there was nothing they could do!
