By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27. - ID: MOB-50 - Level: Recommended - Chapter: [Store review and listing](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/store-review-and-listing.md) - Rule: Answer the age rating questions in App Store Connect and the content rating questions in the Play Console for every app. Answer them again in the release that adds chat, posts by users, a social feed, loot boxes or web access. - Check: A release script compares the feature list with the stored answers. It fails when a listed feature, such as chat or a social feed, has no matching yes in both questionnaires. - Review by: 2027-04-30 - How: Apple's ratings run 4+, 9+, 13+, 16+ and 18+, with questions on in-app controls, medical or wellness topics and violence. Since September 2026, Apple requires the answers on social media features before it accepts a new app or update. Google Play needs an IARC rating, and removes apps without one. Wrong answers can lead to removal. A changed rating can count as a significant change under the laws in [use the store's age signals where state law requires them](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/store-review-and-listing/store-age-signals.md). Keep the answers in the repository next to the feature list, so a reviewer sees both in one diff. ## Sources - [App Review Guidelines 2.3.6 Age ratings](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#accurate-metadata) - [Apple, Age rating questionnaire now includes social media questions](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=tlur8uvi) - [Google Play, Content ratings](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9898843) ## Related rules - MOB-36 [Use the store's age signals where state law requires them](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/mobile-apps/store-review-and-listing/store-age-signals.md) in Mobile apps **For agents:** this playbook is free to use under [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which requires credit with a link.
