Apple also announced a new app, called Clips, for creating videos and sharing them with friends on iOS devices. The new feature, along with extra iMessage features released in recent years, pushes Apple closer to compete with the features in social networking apps like Snap Inc. This Clips App enables users to add captions and speech bubbles to videos and share them on social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram or Apple's own messaging app, where videos can be sent to contacts with a single tap. The app also lets users captions to videos using their voice, which is an amazing and different feature from Snap or other messaging apps.
