New Delhi: Apple has recently pulled the plug on its Clips application by removing it from the App Store and announcing that no further updates will be released for the application. Apple has stated that the application will no longer be available to download for the latest users; however, the ones who already have it can continue to use it on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 or earlier. Existing users can also re-download the application from their Apple account if needed. Without the future updates, using the Clips may gradually become harder, prompting Apple to advise users to save their videos, whether or not they include effects, to their photo library for continued viewing and editing in other applications.
The Clips application was introduced in 2017 as Apple’s response to Snapchat and Instagram Stories. While it wasn’t a social media application, it enabled users to combine photos and videos with filters, stickers, and music. According to some sources, although Apple added several features, including augmented reality features, to Clips after its debut, the application has only received minor bug fixes in recent years.
Apple has also advised users to save their work as a video, not as a project, and users can do this with simple steps like:
- Clips app, open the video users want to export
- Tap the share button located at the bottom right
- Choose options
- Select Video
- Adjust any additional settings, such as the Aspect ratio
- Tap Done
If the users recorded footage directly within their Clips project, users can export each original clip without any effects applied. These are some of the simple steps that should be followed by users to save their photos and videos.
