I. Common Methods to Mute Camera Sound on iPhone/iPad

there is no button for turning on/off the camera sound of your iPhone. But this does not mean that you cannot turn off the shutter sound of your iPhone’s camera. You just need to follow some simple methods that will be described in this article.

Method 1. Silence the Camera Sound on iPhone by Turning on Live Photos

If you are using the iPhone 6s or a new iPhone version, you can mute camera sound via Live Photos. Generally, Live Photos refer to motion pictures that involve both video and sound for some seconds before and after taking the picture. Once you have turned on Live Photos, the camera sound will not play.

• Go to the Camera app on your device

• Click on the Live Photos icon. Now, you can use your camera to capture photos with any shutter sound

  

Method 2. Flip The Ring/Silent Switch Down

Each iPhone has a silent/ring button on its side, usually on the top left side. So, if you can flip this switch, your iPhone will enter silent mode and not ring when you receive calls, messages, etc. However, your device will vibrate so you can still know whenever you have some notifications. If an iPhone is in silent mode, it will not make any sound when you are capturing photos.

Therefore, you should flip the ring/silent switch down to mute the camera sound of your device.

Method 3. Set System Volume to 0%

Another method you can use is to set your system volume to 0%. This means that your device will not make any sound whenever you have a call, message, and so on.

Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Change with Buttons. Then, you have to enable the button. This will allow you to use the Control Center to change the volume of your device. Otherwise, you can turn down the “side volume” button to 0% to ensure that your iPhone doesn’t make any camera sound when taking pictures.
