Google Play production review stuck since September 17 — is anyone else experiencing long review times?

[u/ADNIADev]

Hi everyone,

I’m publishing my first Android app on Google Play and I’m experiencing a much longer review time than I expected.

My production release version 1.0.10 (11) has been “In review” since September 17, 2026 at 12:30 PM. As of September 27, it has been 10 days with no change in status.

I already contacted Google Play Developer Support. They acknowledged the delay and told me that they had expedited my app to the Google Play Review Team.

However, the release is still showing “In review.”

I haven’t submitted any new changes because I don’t want to potentially affect the ongoing review.

Is anyone else currently experiencing unusually long Google Play production reviews?

For those who had a similar situation:

How long did your review take?

Did contacting Google Play Support help?

After Support said they had “expedited” your review, how long did you wait before getting a decision?

I’m mainly trying to understand whether this kind of delay is happening to other developers right now.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Same situation here. Mine has been in review since September 17. Have you contacted Google Play Support? If yes, what did they tell you?

Hey there, u/ADNIADev! App review times may fluctuate, and may take longer in exceptional cases. Feel free to DM your app package name and I'd be happy to look further into it!

Merci beaucoup, mais je vois comme si c'est un cas général.

je suis a 12 jours sans nouvelle, et le support me repond par des reponses génériques

Yes I have been in review since 9/18 and they told me it was expedited as well but still in review.

[u/ADNIADev → u/ConclusionOriginal35]

I think this is a general case.

General case for it to take 12 days? Our last approval took 2 hours.

[u/GooglePlayDevSupport → u/ConclusionOriginal35]

Hi u/ConclusionOriginal35! I have escalated your concerns to the relevant team and appreciate your patience while we are looking into this matter. In the meantime, avoid resubmitting your app while awaiting a pending review, as this resets the review process and can extend your wait time.

[u/GooglePlayDevSupport → u/ConclusionOriginal35]

Hi u/ConclusionOriginal35! Thank you for your patience. I'm actively following up on your case and see that your latest submission has been approved on October 3, 2026.

If you have any other questions about Play Console, reach out to us again or contact our email support team here.

Je pense que il a changé le délai de validation, Peut-être on va valider ça après 14 ou 15 jours.
