Clips update adds Mickey and Minnie Mouse stickers, Split and Duplicate tools

Apple has updated its Clips app for iPhone and iPad, adding new 8-bit and Mickey and Minnie Mouse stickers alongside the Split and Duplicate buttons, and support for mouse and keyboard peripherals in iPadOS 13.4.

Published in the App Store on Tuesday, version 2.1.1 of the Clips app introduces support for peripherals on the iPad, including the use of a mouse, trackpad, or Bluetooth keyboard. Support for the peripherals is available for iPads running iPadOS 13.4 or later.

New editing options have been added, with the Split button dividing any clip in two, while the Duplicate button will create a copy of a clip, including all of its effects. Apple suggests the Split tool can be used to make stickers appear and disappear, by splitting a clip at the point of the change, then applying the effect to one of the two sections.

New stickers in the release include updated 8-bit stickers and 11 new Mickey and Minnie Mouse stickers, with each having an expressive animation. Two new posters are also in the update, with the Game Over poster accompanied by a floral Springtime poster.

The update for the app, which is free to download from the App Store, also contains performance and stability improvements.

Does anyone even use this? Apple had a chance to make this the next big app.

I always forget this even exists! Never hear of anybody talking about or using it.

I played with it when it first came out, and then again about a year ago because the latest version was supposed to be much improved. I honestly cannot come up with a use case where this would be the best tool. Either it’s aimed at way below my skill set or there are some higher functions in it and they need to document it better.

apple should itself use this app for its promos to get people to look at the app and use it as well.

My kids use it fairly often. Just for messing around with though. They have also used it at school a few times. It's definitely the sort of app that's aimed more towards children from what I've seen. Without a social media format it seems to be just the much younger kids that use it.
