For some smartphones, the camera sound can be turned off via the settings in the camera app provided by the manufacturer. However, this does not apply to all smartphones. But there are ways around this.
Turn off camera sound on your smartphone
The shutter sound of the smartphone camera is not always desired and can sometimes be disturbing, for example at theater performances or other events. Try the following options:
- Mute your phone: The simplest option is to mute your phone completely. But be careful: not every device silences the camera when you mute the phone. Go to your smartphone’s settings and disable all ringtones and notification sounds.
- Volume button: In some cases, it also works to regulate the shutter sound via the volume button on your smartphone.
- Use apps: Simply download an app that can be used to turn off the camera sound. These apps include, for example, Silent Camera (free) or Mute Camera Plus (€2.49) for Android.
