# burstIdentifier

The unique identifier shared by photo assets from the same burst sequence.

## Declaration

```swift
var burstIdentifier: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the user takes a sequence of photos in burst mode with the Camera app (on supported devices), the Photos app user interface groups the resulting assets together. The Photos framework identifies a burst sequence as a group of assets sharing the same burst identifier string.
