iPhone Saving clips Updated June 22, 2026

Organise clips into Collections

Trip plans, launch copy, the snippets you paste every day. Collections keep them tidy.

Collections group related clips together with their own icon and colour. They are perfect for the sets of things you reuse, like launch copy, trip details, or the snippets you paste every day.

Create a Collection

  1. Open the Collections tab and tap New Collection.
  2. Give it a name (or tap a suggestion), then pick an icon and a colour.
  3. Tap Create. Your new Collection is ready for clips.

🗂️ Collections people love

Try one for "Work" snippets, one for a trip with addresses and confirmation numbers, and one for the canned replies you send most.

Edit or delete a Collection

Press and hold a Collection to rename it, change its icon and colour, or delete it. Deleting a Collection does not delete the clips inside it, so your saved items stay safe.

☁️ They travel with you

With sync on, your Collections appear on every device, so the same groups are waiting on your iPad and Mac.
