Save to Photos as well

Also save Clips captures to the system Photos library

Saves a copy to the Photos app so other apps that only pick from Photos can still use your Clips shots.

Why save to Photos too?

  • Some apps let you attach images only from Photos, not via share sheets.
  • Messengers, mail, Slack, and many web uploads expect the Photos library.
  • If a shot lives only in Clips, those apps may not see it.

What happens when you enable it

  • Clips keeps the photo for organization inside the app.
  • A copy also lands in Photos so other apps can select it immediately.
  • Think of Clips as management and Photos as handoff for other tools.

Deleting and managing

  • You can delete only in Clips or remove from both places together.
  • That flow helps reduce how much work imagery appears in Photos when you do not need it there.

Key takeaways

  • Dual save improves compatibility with apps that read Photos.
  • You can separate “manage in Clips” from “use via Photos.”
  • Keeps the work/personal split while exposing shots only when necessary.
