Approved ChatGPT App Not Showing in Apps Directory (Visible via Search Only)

Yeah, that’s definitely confusing, especially when everything looks “approved” on your end. What’s happening here is that approval doesn’t automatically mean full placement in the category listings. The directory pages like “Lifestyle” only show a smaller, curated set of apps right now. So even after approval and publish, not every app shows up there immediately (or at all). So the gap you’re seeing isn’t about timing as much as how visibility is handled. There isn’t a guaranteed “after X days it appears” flow for categories at the moment. What you can do: * Double check the app is marked as “Published” in the dashboard * Share the direct directory link from the publish page to drive usage If you want a clearer breakdown of how this works, this doc is worth a quick read: “Submit and maintain your app” it covers publish state and distribution expectations. This one trips up a lot of folks, so you’re asking the right question. -Mark G.
