Apple Discontinues Clips Video Editing App
Apple has officially discontinued its Clips video editing app, removing it from the App Store as of October 10, 2025. The company has stated that the app will no longer receive updates and will not be available for download for new users, reports 24brussels.
Introduced in 2017, Clips was designed to allow users to combine videos with music, text, and various filters, primarily for social media sharing. While Apple enhanced the app over the years with features such as augmented reality effects and advanced video editing tools, development had noticeably slowed in recent instances.
Following the announcement, Apple has urged existing users to save their videos directly to their Photos library. The company has updated its support page to provide guidance on this process, reassuring users that they can continue to use Clips on iOS and iPadOS after its removal from the App Store. However, the warning remains that if future operating system updates disrupt the app’s functionality, saved videos might be at risk.
The discontinuation of Clips underscores Apple’s ongoing strategy to streamline its app offerings, focusing on products that align with its current technological direction and user engagement goals.
