Will Apple review my app within 24 hours?

App submissions

Different published benchmarks

Different benchmarks

Aggregate review figures · not your deadline

Apple’s main review page reports 90% within 24 hours. A July 2026 staff post reports 90% within 48 hours. The pages do not reconcile those different headlines, and neither promises your completion time.

What the clock measures

Process only · no measured window
  1. Process contextSubmission & review
  2. Outcome not guaranteedReview outcome
  3. Separate later stageRelease, if approved

A process map, not your progress. Spacing does not represent duration.

Starts with
The two aggregate headlines do not reconcile a precise start event. Do not infer a personal start time from them.
Ends with
A review outcome, not necessarily approval or a live app.

What can change the wait

  • These benchmarks can both be true. Different wording is not proof that either is false.
  • Do not average them or turn the faster headline into a countdown. Your submission’s completion date remains unknown.
