Hi so my pokestop submission was approved 5-6 days ago but it has neither appeared as a pokestop or a power spot on the pokemon go app. Any idea how long it takes

Please go back and read the acceptance email thoroughly. There is no guarantee that your accepted Wayspot _will ever_ show up in Pokemon GO.

See if this helps explain: [Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/why-an-accepted-wayspot-may-not-be-used-in-pokemon-go-s2-cells-and-pokemon-go/106925)

Will be happy to give you a visual after you read this.

No one ever gets confirmation of a Wayspot showing up in game other than us looking for it and seeing it. We have the map now and it will eventually display how the wayspot is being used (or not). But theres a sync delay and i can’t keep up with what that is.

Generally it should show up on the Wayfarer map within three syncs. (Usually faster but if it’s going to populate into Pokemon Go, the status changes can take up to that long).

If you want to post the Title and Location (shown in the email you receive as soon as you nominate) we can take a look for you.
