Apple has issued a warning to iPhone and iPad users after revealing that one of its apps has been discontinued after just eight years.
The Clips app was launched globally back in April 2017, offering users the chance to create and share videos with special effects, graphics, text and more.
But now, after just eight years, Apple has revealed that the Clips app has been scrapped and is no longer available to download.
Users who have already downloaded Clips will still be able to use it on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, or earlier, devices.
But the app will no longer be updated (as of October 10, 2025).
If you previously downloaded the Clips app, you can still redownload it from your Apple account in the App Store.
Apple warns users to 'save your videos' as it scraps Clips app
Apple is urging iPhone and iPad users with Clips to save their videos from the app in another location, like their photo library.
How to save Clips videos
To help, Apple has outlined a rundown of how to save your Clips videos in a different location:
- In the Clips app, open the video you want to save.
- Tap Options > Video
- Select other options like the Aspect Ratio.
- Tap Done
- Then select a save option:
- To save the video in your photo library, tap 'Save Video'.
- To choose where you want to save the video, tap 'Save to Files', enter a name for the file at the bottom of the screen, then choose a location (tap 'Browse' at the top left to see more locations).
If you recorded a video directly into a Clips project, you can save it without effects by:
- Opening a project.
- Tap a clip in the project to select it.
- Swipe left on the tools, then tap Save Clip. The clip is saved to your photo library and added to an album called Clips.

Apple and Samsung users could be owed a share of £480 million
Around 30 million Apple and Samsung users in the UK could be owed a share of £480 million as part of a legal claim against Qualcomm.
Qualcomm is a global manufacturer of chipsets used in a range of products, including smartphones, to help them connect to 4G networks.
Consumer watchdog Which? has launched a legal claim against the tech company, saying it "abused its position as a dominant company and charged smartphone manufacturers inflated fees".
These increased costs have led to consumers paying higher prices for new mobile phones.
Qualcomm has previously said the case has "no basis".
Which Apple and Samsung users can claim a share in £480m?
Which? is seeking reimbursement of more than £480 million for Brits who purchased an Apple or Samsung device at an inflated price due to Qualcomm's "anticompetitive practices".
If the legal claim is successful, anyone who purchased an Apple or Samsung phone in the UK on or between October 1, 2015, and January 9, 2024, could share in more than £480 million.
1/4 We’re pushing ahead with our legal claim, on behalf of 29 million UK consumers who bought an Apple or Samsung smartphone since 2015, meeting global chip manufacturer Qualcomm in court for a five-week trial, commencing today. https://t.co/mKinVlqmUi
— Which? (@WhichUK) October 6, 2025
You can see if you are eligible for the payout via the 'Smartphone Claim' page on the Which? website.
It is currently estimated that those affected will receive, on average, around £17, if Which? is successful.
This will depend on the device and how many you purchased (between October 1, 2015 and January 9, 2024).

When Apple and Samsung users can expect payment
If you qualify, you will automatically be included in the claim and receive the appropriate compensation.
These legal proceedings are part of an 'opt-out' regime, meaning you don't have to do anything to get your money back.
Eligible Apple and Samsung users will not receive payment unless Which? is successful in its legal battle against Qualcomm.
The first of two trials, which is expected to last for five weeks, began on Monday (October 6), focusing on Qualcomm’s abuse of its dominant market positions.
