How to turn off the sound when taking photos on Apple
Recently, the shutter sound when taking pictures on Apple mobile phones has become a hot topic. Many users have reported that they cannot turn off the sound, which is particularly inconvenient in scenes that require silent shooting. The following is a compilation of hot content and solutions to this problem across the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Why does Apple make sound when taking photos?
The shutter sound when taking pictures on an Apple mobile phone is set by the system by default. The main purpose is to comply with the laws and regulations of some countries and regions (such as Japan, South Korea, etc.) and prevent surreptitious photography. So even if the phone is in silent mode, the shutter sound will still sound.
2. Summary of hotly discussed opinions across the network
| platform | Discussion popularity | Main user feedback |
|---|---|---|
| high | “There is still sound when taking photos in silent mode, which is very embarrassing.” | |
| Zhihu | in | "Can't turn it off due to legal requirements, but would love a region adaptation option" |
| Douyin | high | "Teach you to use shortcut commands to bypass sounds" |
| Station B | in | “The overseas version of iPhone can turn off the sound” |
3. How to turn off the sound of Apple camera?
Although turning off the shutter sound completely is limited on some models, the following methods may work:
| method | Applicable models | Operation steps |
|---|---|---|
| silent mode | Non-Japanese and Korean iPhone | Turn the mute switch to turn off the sound |
| Live Photo | full range | Turn on the Live Photo function and the shutter sound will be reduced |
| shortcut command | iOS 12 and above | Achieved through the "Photo without sound" shortcut command |
| Third-party applications | full range | Use professional photography apps like Halide |
4. User feedback
According to actual social media data:
| method | success rate | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| silent mode | 60% | Invalid for Japanese and Korean versions |
| Live Photo | 80% | Photo format restricted |
| shortcut command | 90% | Complex operation |
5. Legal and Privacy Notices
It should be noted that in some countries and regions, deliberately turning off the sound for taking photos may involve legal risks. The following is a summary of the relevant regulations:
| Country/Region | regulatory requirements |
|---|---|
| Japan | It is mandatory to take pictures and the sound cannot be turned off |
| South Korea | The volume needs to reach a certain decibel |
| other countries | No explicit limit |
6. Recommendation of alternatives
If none of the above methods work, consider:
1. Use the headset’s in-line volume button to take photos (supported by some models)
2. Use the screenshot function to take screenshots instead of taking pictures
3. Buy second-hand iPhones with non-Japanese and Korean versions
7. Analysis of technical principles
The implementation of Apple's camera sound is done through system-level hard coding. Even in silent mode, the audio channel will still force the shutter sound to be played. This is different from the soft implementation methods of other mobile phone manufacturers, and is also the reason why users cannot turn it off through regular settings.
8. Outlook for future updates
According to the iOS developer community, Apple may add a region detection function in subsequent versions to allow users in compliant regions to turn off the shutter sound. However, the specific timetable has not yet been announced.
To sum up, the perfect solution for turning off Apple camera sound has not yet appeared. Users can choose the most suitable temporary solution according to their own needs. At the same time, we also remind everyone to use the shooting function of mobile phones rationally and respect the privacy of others.
