How to Fix App Content Declaration Stuck in “Need Attention” Tab in Google Play Console

Introduction

If your App Content Declaration remains in the Need Attention tab after you’ve revised and saved it—especially following a rejection—this article explains why it happens and how to move your declaration back to Actioned.

Understand the “Need Attention” Behavior

1. When Google rejects your app due to a flagged issue in the App Content Declaration, the declaration is moved to Need Attention.
   
2. Saving revisions keeps it in Need Attention by design; it won’t auto-move until re-reviewed.
   

Submit the Updated Declaration for Review

1. In App Store Connect, open your app and go to App Content > Declaration.
   
2. After making your changes, click Submit for Review.
   
3. Wait for Google’s approval—once approved, the declaration will auto-move to Actioned.
   

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Why doesn’t my declaration move to Actioned immediately after saving?
A: This is expected. Google requires a fresh review before marking it Actioned.

Q: How long does the re-review take?
A: Review times vary but typically complete within 24–48 hours.
