2.3.12New features description

What this guideline means

Update notes need to genuinely reflect the changes in the build — generic "bug fixes and improvements" text on a version with major new functionality, or listing features that aren't actually included in the update, both violate this.

Why apps actually get flagged

Usually a low-severity but real trigger when release notes are copy-pasted across versions without being updated to match the actual changelog.

A real example

"The 'What's New' text for your app update does not accurately describe the changes included in this version, per guideline 2.3.12."
