Best Answers! How to Delete Burst Photos?(+Recovery Tip)

Part 1: What is Burst Mode iPhone?

A burst shot inside an iPhone refers to a series of photos. These burst shots can be smaller, or they can be larger. Usually, the typical burst shot for an iPhone is ten frames per second. Sometimes you might need multiple shots from a single frame so you can pick the best one from it. Burst shots help you in this purpose.

The burst shots are there to take a bunch of pictures when we long-press the volume button. Then iOS will select the best image from those multiple pictures for us so we can use them. We can also handpick the shots that we deem usable.

Once you are done selecting the best clicks from the burst shot, you are left with a residue of other unnecessary pictures that do nothing except consume your memory.

You need to manage and delete those unwanted shots to save up some space from your iPhone.

Part 2: How to Delete Burst Photos?

Now that we know what burst photos are, it is time to learn how to remove burst in the iPhone. Whenever you click burst shots from the iPhone, they go towards your main Photo Library, the Moments section in the Photos tab, or the Photo app under the Burst album. 

Here is how to delete burst photos on iPhone after viewing them and selecting the best ones from the pool.

• Navigate the Photos app and launch it on your iPhone. Once it is opened, scroll down and click on the “Bursts” album from the list. You can select any burst shot then.

  

• Tap on any burst shot. Once it is opened, tap on the “Select” option present underneath the burst. The entire burst will open. You can select as many photos from it as you want. iOS will automatically put a dot under the pictures its algorithm thinks are the best ones.

  
• Tap on the images you want to keep. When you are done with selecting, go to the top-right corner and click on Done. Select the “Keep Only Favourites” instead of Keep Everything so the app would remove the unnecessary burst shots. If you want to delete Apple ID photo by the way, you can also do that using this way.

Part 3: FAQs about Burst Photos

Q1. How Do I Change Burst to Normal Photo?

Many of you might be wondering how to cancel burst photos on iPhone. Well, it is not difficult at all. Oddly enough, there is no way to disable the burst mode from your camera settings or the Photos app. However, you can choose some of these things.

Enable HDR: Enter the HDR mode into the iPhone. Your camera will automatically come out of the burst mode.

Enable Flash:If your burst mode is on, then turn on or off your camera’s flash. The phone will get out of the burst mode.

Enable Timer:Yes, you can also enable a timer to stay away from the burst pictures mode.

These methods can come in handy, especially the flash one, but we would recommend not to long-press the shutter button as it will again lead to burst photos. Once you get used to taking burst photos, you wouldn’t deviate from long-pressing the button again.

Q2. How Do I Select All Burst Photos?

You cannot select all photos from the burst photos. If you want to finish all the pictures, follow the method we told you above but only keep one favorite.

When you keep the one favorite, then other burst shots would be deleted. You can then follow these steps:

• Tap on “Select.”
• Click on the one favorite photo left behind.
• Click on the “Trash” icon.
• Now tap on the “Delete” image and delete the one favorite left to eliminate the whole burst shot.
