Overview
- Apple confirmed in a support document that Clips was removed from the App Store on October 10, 2025, and will no longer receive updates.
- New downloads are blocked, but anyone who installed Clips before can reinstall it, and current installations still run on iOS and iPadOS 26 for now.
- Clips projects cannot be exported, so only finished videos can be saved, creating a risk for in‑app projects if compatibility ends.
- Apple advises moving editing to iMovie or third‑party tools such as InShot, VN Video Editor, and GoPro Quik.
- Introduced in 2017 with features like AR effects and auto captions, Clips never matched short‑video leaders, and coverage links the decision to Apple refocusing on its core video tools.
