Apple taste to simulate the experience of a snapshot camera when you take a picture in the Photos app on an iPhone or iPad by issuing a little click auditory sensation . Many of us choose to obviate that auditory sensation .
outstandingly , there ’s no chink on / off switch in the Camera setting ! or else , you have one of three alternatives :
Enable alive Photo : If you ’re hearing a click , you do n’t have this lineament turned on , which retains some still images from before and after the breaker point at which you take pictures , furnish some aliveness — and audio . If the click were on , it would be captured in a Live Photo . you may have Live Photo always on when you launch the Camera by enablingSettings > photographic camera > save configurations > Live Photo .
Mute tack : With the hardware Ring / unsounded switching set to Silent , the snap auditory sensation is disabled . On iPhones with this switch , you could flip this shift on and off at will if you prefer to have the cluck off sometimes and on at others . If you have an iPhone with an Action push button , the nonpayment is Ring / Silent switching , but if you ’ve transfer the button , you have to now go into Control Center and mute the iPhone ( if you ’re iPhone is mesh and you use the Volume Down button , that turns down the Ringer for the phone . ) However , the Silent switch is a system - extensive mute , so no iPhone sounds will be made .
placed system volume to zero : you may also or instead arrange your alert sounds volume to zero . IfSettings > Sounds & Haptics > Change with Buttonsis enabled , you’re able to use the Control Center or the side volume down button . However , if that transposition is disabled , you have to on an individual basis slue the Ringer and Alerts level to the far go out inSettings > Sounds & Haptics .
One further note : A few countries require a shutter sound on devices that take exposure . While in those countries , which include Japan and South Korea , the snapshot audio will always trigger . It looks like base on the SIM , as travelers from other countries who swap in a local SIM find their snapshot orientation overridden .
