The update of iOS to version 14 inaugurates many new features in the iPhone camera. Among these, it is now possible to activate burst photo capture using the volume button on the device.
With the release of the iPhone 11 and iOS 13 last year, Apple changed the way the camera’s burst capture system works.
While it was once enough to hold down the shutter button or volume button to take burst photos, this mode of operation has been replaced by QuickTake, a function that allows users to quickly record a video, without leaving photo mode by keeping their finger pressed on the shutter button.
With iOS 14, things changed, with Apple reintroducing an option to take burst photos using the iPhone’s volume + button. Here’s how to activate it on iPhone Xr, Xs, and later.
1. Go to Settings
Open iOS Settings, scroll through the options and go to the Camera menu. Activate the Burst option by increasing the volume.
2. Capture burst photos
Now, when you want to start a burst photo capture, open the iPhone camera and press and hold the volume + button on the device.
You should see the trigger button displayed on the screen indicating in real time the number of captured photos. You can then go to your Photos library to see your bursts of photos and choose favorites from all the saved images.
