Signing in with your own account

Any user can connect?How we estimated thisA Business-type app serving other people's Pages or Instagram professional accounts with Advanced Access (for example instagram_business_basic, instagram_business_manage_messages, pages_read_engagement). There's no faster path for non-role users. Business Verification, App Review and Access Verification run in sequence; a rejection restarts the queue, and 2026 vendor reports describe App Review waits of about 20 days. Includes waiting on: Business Verification (days to 2+ weeks), then App Review (Meta says under a week, often 2–3 days; 2026 reports say up to about 20 days), then Access Verification for Tech Providers (about 5 business days, by Meta's 2022 estimate).. Provider review times vary, so this is a range, not a promise.Evidence: InferredMeta's App Review page: 'It typically takes us less than one week to process your submission, and often takes only 2–3 days'. Access Verification is about 5 business days by Meta's 2022 estimate. Meta publishes no Business Verification time. The total is our estimate for the three steps in sequence with one resubmission; the 20-day vendor figure is tail risk, not typical.
