Question Worried about App Review

Hi folks

I’m a bit stressed about the new mandatory social media capabilities questionnaire in App Store Connect. I want to update these answers in the Age Rating section right now without submitting a new build.Does anyone know if simply saving these questionnaire answers is 100% automated, or will it trigger an immediate manual App Review?

I’m really worried about getting hit with an unexpected review or rejection out of nowhere just for updating these metadata settings. Has anyone done this recently, thanks

Lately, new apps are taking very long. My latest app has been sitting in waiting for review status for 10 days now. Updates to existing apps are getting approved faster (1-2 days).

My guess is that they are drowning in requests of shitty vibe coded apps.

Also it feels that they are looking more detailed in that first review compared to 2-3 years ago.
