Apple has announced that its Clips app will no longer be updated and is being removed from the App Store for new users as of October 10, 2025. Existing users can continue to use the app on devices running iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 and earlier, but Apple is urging users to save their videos before support ends.

Clips app no longer available for download

In a blog post published on October 11, 2025, Apple confirmed that new downloads of the Clips app are no longer possible. Users who have previously installed the app can still re-download it from their Apple account in the App Store, but future updates will not be provided.

How to save your Clips videos

Apple has provided detailed instructions for users to preserve their videos, whether they include effects or not. Users are advised to save videos as finished files rather than as Clips projects.

To save a video with effects:

  1. Open the video in the Clips app.
  2. Tap the Share button at the bottom right.
  3. Tap Options, then Video.
  4. Adjust settings like Aspect Ratio if needed, then tap Done.
  5. Choose a save option:
    • Save Video to store it in the Photos app.
    • Save to Files to select a location such as iCloud Drive or your device.

Saving individual Clips without effects

For those who want to preserve original clips without effects, Apple provides a separate process:

This saves the clip to the photo library and adds it to a new album named Clips. If the option is dimmed, the original clips can still be located in the Photos app.

What are some alternatives to Clips app?

With Clips being phased out, users can transition their projects to other apps such as iMovie, InShot, VN Video Editor, or GoPro Quik.
