Meta App Approval Guide (2025): Get Approved Fast or Guaranteed
Learn why Meta apps get rejected and how to get guaranteed approval fast. Covers permissions, review process, common mistakes, and fixes.

Meta App Approval: Why Most Apps Get Rejected
Getting a Meta app approved sounds simple, but in reality, most apps fail at least once during review by Meta.
From Reddit threads, developer forums, and real client cases, the pattern is clear:
- Apps are technically working
- But review requirements are misunderstood
- Permissions are over-applied
- Screencasts are poorly explained
- Privacy and data usage are unclear
Meta reviewers don’t debug apps.
They verify intent, compliance, and clarity.
Common Reddit Questions About Meta App Approval
Based on recurring Reddit discussions, these are the most searched and asked questions:
- Why does Meta keep rejecting my app?
- How long does Meta app approval take?
- What is Page Public Content Access and why is it hard?
- Why is my app stuck in review?
- What does Meta want in the screencast?
- Can freelancers or SaaS founders get approval?
- Is approval different for Instagram vs Facebook?
- How do I get Advanced Access approved?
This guide answers all of them.
Top Reasons Meta Apps Get Rejected
1. Applying for Too Many Permissions
Meta prefers minimal access.
Common mistake:
- Requesting 6–8 permissions
- Only needing 2–3
Meta flags this as overreach.
2. Poor Screencast Explanation
Most rejections happen here.
What Meta expects:
- Clear user flow
- Real data usage
- Permission usage shown step-by-step
- No mock screens
- No dev tools
What most people submit:
- Silent screen recording
- No narration
- Reviewer confusion
Result: ❌ Rejected
3. Privacy Policy Issues
From Reddit complaints, this alone causes weeks of delay.
Meta checks:
- Publicly accessible URL
- Business name visible
- Data usage explained
- Contact details present
- Loads fast (no delayed JS render)
Even a slow-loading policy can trigger rejection.
4. Permission Use Case Not Clear
Meta asks one question internally:
“Why does this app need this permission?”
If the answer is not obvious in:
- App UI
- Screencast
- Written explanation
The permission gets rejected.
5. Wrong App Type or Incomplete Setup
Examples:
- Using Business app instead of Consumer
- No test user added
- App not switched to Live mode
- Features not enabled in Meta dashboard
Small setup mistakes = instant rejection.
How Long Does Meta App Approval Take?
From real cases and Reddit timelines:
- Standard access: 2–4 days
- Advanced access: 4–7 days
- Re-approval after rejection: 3–5 more days
One mistake can cost 1 full week.
