Faye notes that Bohr's interpretation makes no reference to a "collapse of the wave function during measurements" (and indeed, he never mentioned this idea). Instead, Bohr "accepted the Born statistical interpretation because he believed that the ψ -function has only a symbolic meaning and does not represent anything real". Since for Bohr, the ψ -function is not a literal pictorial representation of reality, there can be no real collapse of the wavefunction.
