How do I turn off burst mode on my iPhone 15?

This reply is totally useless

"How to turn off burst mode". I'm using an iPhone 15 pro max. When using timer in 'photo' mode, it produces bursts of 3 and 10 photos in 3sec and 10sec modes respectively. Two ways to avoid the 'bursts'. 1. turn on 'live' mode - you can use 'photo' mode and timer and you won't get bursts. 2. Switch from 'photo' to 'portrait' - use timer, and no bursts!

There isn't a direct way to disable burst mode in the iPhone's settings, but there is a workaround to avoid burst mode when using the timer on your iPhone 15:

Use Single Photo with Timer: By default, using the timer might trigger burst mode. You can take a single photo with the timer by following these steps:

• Open the Camera app.
• Tap the timer icon (it looks like a clock) at the top of the screen.
• Choose "3s" or "10s" depending on your desired delay for the shutter to release.

These workarounds should prevent burst mode from activating when you use the timer on your iPhone 15.

You may not like the answer, but it's a correct answer. This is a user to user only forum, and people here volunteer their time to try to help other users. Being rude was unnecessary.

There is NO setting to turn off Burst if you use the timer.

If you want to suggest to Apple they provide a Burst Off setting when using the timer, feel free to use this link to communicate with Apple --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

There appears to be no way to disable it, same as there is no way to permanently disable “ live”, which is totally idiotic.

I dont understand your post, first you say there is no direct way to turn off burst mode when using timer, then you say tap the timer icon and choose 3s or 10s, but that is exactly what is making the phone use burst mode when you do that. There is no workaround to avoid burst mode when taking photos with the timer, sadly.

You can turn off live photo, in iphone settings scroll down to camera, then go to preserve settings, then go to live photos and turn this on. Then open the camera app and check the live icon at the top right, make sure it's turned off. Now close the app and open it again, you will now see that live photo is turned off. Just remember next time you use live photo that once you're done remember to click the icon again to turn it off or else it will be back on next time you open it. But maybe you already know all this? I agree it would be nice if it was off by default, or if it would turn off once the app was restarted, just like it does when you make changes to exposure and night mode.
