Disappointing Dozens of Customers, Apple Clips is No More

Apple Support:

The Clips app is no longer being updated, and will no longer be available for download for new users as of October 10, 2025.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.

The app is no longer shown under Apple’s App Store listing , and visiting the link returns an “App Not Available” or “Cannot Connect” error.

Screenshot of App Store dialog when attempting to view Clips app: “App Not Available. This app is currently not available in your country or region.”

Apple introduced Clips in 2017 without much fanfare as a “fun, new way to create expressive videos on iOS,” but it failed to catch on with the Instagram and TikTok crowd. The app received just a handful of updates in subsequent years and had long been presumed dead, baby. Now it’s official: Clips has ceased to be. It is an ex-app.
