Apple has officially pulled the plug on its mobile video editing app called Clips. The app was meant to create multi-clip videos on iPhone and iPad without the hassle of timelines, tracks, or complicated editing tools.
"The Clips app is no longer being updated, and will no longer be available for download for new users as of October 10, 2025. You can continue to use Clips on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 or earlier," Apple said in a support document.
While the Apple Clips app has been removed from the App Store, you can keep using it if you already have it installed on your iPhone or iPad. You can redownload the app from your Apple account in the App Store.
Apple Clips lets you add speech bubbles, comic book filters, full-screen animated posters, and other fun effects. It also features a catalog of music soundtracks that automatically adjust to match the length of a video. You can share these videos on Instagram, Facebook, the Messages app, or edit them further in iMovie and other third-party apps.
The support page further details the steps to save your Apple Clips videos, both with and without effects, so that you can access them later. Make sure you don"t save them as projects but videos and add them to your photo library or other places like your iCloud Drive.
The video editing app has been around since 2017 and received several updates over the years, bringing HDR recording, augmented reality support, and other features. However, you shouldn"t confuse it with the feature called "App Clips," which lets you use small parts of an app to complete a task without downloading the entire app.
Apple Clips is yet another addition to the Cupertino giant"s graveyard. Earlier this year, Apple discontinued several devices, including the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and AirPods Pro 2, which have been replaced by a newer device lineup.
