Review Environment

Submission ID: edce5c5f-1979-4749-a4d6-fcfadd64921f
Review date: February 28, 2026
Review Device: iPad Air 11-inch (M3)
Version reviewed: 1.0.2

Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage

Issue Description

One or more purpose strings in the app do not sufficiently explain the use of protected resources. Purpose strings must clearly and completely describe the app's use of data and, in most cases, provide an example of how the data will be used.

Next Steps

Update the photo library purpose string to explain how the app will use the requested information and provide a specific example of how the data will be used. See the attached screenshot.

Resources

Purpose strings must clearly describe how an app uses the ability, data, or resource. The following are hypothetical examples of unclear purpose strings that would not pass review:

• "App would like to access your Contacts"
• "App needs microphone access"

See examples of helpful, informative purpose strings.

Guideline 1.2 - Safety - User-Generated Content

We found in our review that your app includes user-generated content but does not have all the required precautions. Apps with user-generated content must take specific steps to moderate content and prevent abusive behavior.

Next Steps

To resolve this issue, please revise your app to implement the following precautions:

• Require that users agree to terms (EULA) and these terms must make it clear that there is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users
• A method for filtering objectionable content
• A mechanism for users to flag objectionable content
• A mechanism for users to block abusive users. Blocking should also notify the developer of the inappropriate content and should remove it from the user's feed instantly.
• The developer must act on objectionable content reports within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the user who provided the offending content

Resources
