Capture action shots with Burst mode on your iPhone camera

The counter shows how many shots you took.
Lift your finger to stop.
To select the photos you want to keep, tap the Burst thumbnail, then tap Select.
Gray dots below the thumbnails mark the suggested photos to keep.
Tap the circle in the lower-right corner of each photo you want to save as an individual photo, then tap Done.
To delete the entire Burst, tap the thumbnail, then tap .
Tip: You can also press and hold the volume up button to take Burst shots. Go to Settings > Camera, then turn on Use Volume Up for Burst (available on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later).
