App Clips are a great way for users to quickly access and experience what your app has to offer. An App Clip is a small part of your app that's discoverable at the moment it's needed. App Clips are fast and lightweight so a user can open them quickly. Whether they're ordering take-out from a restaurant, renting a scooter, or setting up a new connected appliance for the first time, users will be able to start and finish an experience from your app in seconds. Clips is available as a download from the App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID. IOS 14.0 or later is required. Clips is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Some features require an iPhone or iPad with TrueDepth camera system. ICloud requires an iCloud-enabled device. Overview An App Clip is a lightweight version of your app that offers users access to some of the app's functionality. A coffee shop app downloaded and installed from the App Store, for example, might provide a user the ability to order a drink, save favorites, collect rewards, get special offers, and so on.
