Overview
- Apple confirmed via a support document that Clips is discontinued, receives no further updates, and was removed from the App Store on October 10, 2025.
- New downloads are no longer possible, though users who previously installed Clips can reinstall it from their purchase history.
- Clips should continue to operate on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 for now, but Apple has not provided a timeline for when compatibility may break.
- Apple outlines how to save content—Share → Save Video or Save to Files for finished videos, or Save Clip for individual raw clips—and notes that exported files remain usable even if the app later stops launching.
- Introduced in 2017, Clips never built a broad audience compared with social platforms, and coverage frames the move as Apple refocusing on core video tools such as iMovie and Final Cut Pro for iPad.
