how long does it take the account recovery team to contact you about getting back into your account?

Recently I just purchase the new iPhone 7 Plus.. and I truly was excited about it until I tried logging in and it prompted me to put in the verification code. The only problem is the trusted Number is my old phone number! Which was never was updated in their system. Now I have no access to any of my photos contacts and emails my whole life is at stake lol. I started the account recovery which they said it could take up to a few days to be processed, but I think they can at least give you updates while you're in the process to ensure you that they're working on the problem!

Hello Support,


I am facing similar issue with account recovery for one of my devices. I received an email regarding the account recovery request from Apple on 27th January 2017. However, up til now i have not received any support or even a notification how the account will be recovered. Kindly guide me how i will be able to recover the ID.


Regards

Ali

I literally just had the same problem. It took them 3 days to get back to me and that's given that I gave them my debit card number in order to verify my identity. If you don't I don't know how much longer it would take. My guess is about a week . When you get in, and from now on make sure you keep the devices and phone numbers updated . It's not done for you !
