Amazon Prime Video lets you share clips from its original series. Here’s how

Share your favorite clips from some Amazon Originals series, including episodes of The Wilds, Invincible, Fairfax and The Boys.

Have you ever seen something funny while watching a TV show and wished you could send the clip directly to your friends, or share it on social media? Amazon is now making that possible, albeit with limited content, on the Prime Video app on iOS.

On Thursday, the company said people will have the option to share content from some Amazon Originals series, including The Wilds, Invincible, Fairfax, and season 1 of The Boys. Amazon said the feature will roll out to more original content soon.

The move comes as Amazon Prime Video competes with other streaming services like Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max. Most services don’t let customers to grab clips or screenshots of shows and movies.

How to share a clip via the Amazon Prime Video app

To try the sharing feature, start watching one of the four abovementioned shows on the Prime Video app on your iPhone or iPad. Once it starts playing, you can find the Share a clip button in X-Ray mode by tapping the screen as the video plays. The button shows up in the lower right-hand corner of the app when your device is in landscape mode.

Once you hit Share a clip, the show will pause and will open a clip, edit and share screen where it will generate a 30-second clip of what you just watched. You’ll be able to move the selection forward and backward to make sure to clip the section that you want. You can also preview the clip to make sure everything looks good before you send it.

Once you think the clip looks good, tap the Share button on the screen. You’ll now have the option to share with your friends in iMessage, WhatsApp or Messenger or more widely on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

A representative for Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
