I wanted to capture a neat picture of the storm that is now over, and I held down the button to take a picture, expecting to take burst pictures. Instead, the iPhone started recording video. WTH? Did that change with iOS 26?
Got a tip for us?

Capture action shots with Burst mode on your iPhone camera
Use Burst mode on your iPhone camera to take multiple high-speed photos so that you have a range of photos to choose from when capturing a moving subject.
Changed with iOS 17 by the looks of the instructions.
If there is one thing that irritates me about tech, it’s when software changes an established way the UI works. This being a perfect example. The one time I recently wanted to use burst mode and I did it the way I was used to and it didn’t work. 😩

After using my 16 Plus on iOS 18, and after coming from my iPhone Xʀ on iOS 12 which takes burst pictures the usual way, I noticed that this was changed only after seeing this thread.
I had taken exactly 0 burst pictures with my 16 Plus in about 14 months. And I dislike this change. It’s not like it matters much, but holding the shutter button was far more intuitive.
