How To Disable Camera Shutter Apple iPhone 8 And iPhone 8 Plus

All of the Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus smartphones are equipped with new top of the line cameras. With all that technology behind the lens, it would be unfortunate if you don’t know how to take pictures on your camera with no sound. The camera shutter sound can be annoying to some people, especially if you take dozens of selfies in a day. For some, it would be best just to take silent pictures instead.

For those living in the United States, taking silent pictures can actually be illegal in some states, as the law mentions that cell phones with digital cameras must produce a sound when taking a picture. The following instructions will show you how to turn off the camera sound, or at least, just turn down camera sound on the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

Use a third party camera app

The best method to switch off the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus camera sound and take silent pictures is by taking advantage of a third party camera app. This is because the stock iOS camera app makes a shutter sound by default, whenever you take a picture. Fortunately, not all camera apps have shutter sounds on by default. You can browse for different apps in the App Store and try different camera apps to see which one of those apps mutes the camera noise  on your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus.

Alternatively, you can try turning off the camera sounds on the Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus by decreasing the volume on the smartphone. The way you can do this is by pressing repeatedly or holding down the “volume down” button on the side until the phone goes into vibrate mode. When it is on mute, the camera shutter sound will be silent when you go to take a picture.

Plugging headphones in won’t work

If you think that plugging your headphones into the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus works, it does NOT. Most likely than not, when you plug your headphones, all sounds coming from the device will be played through the headphones. But with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, this will not work, as the smartphone segregates the media audio from notification sounds, so the shutter sound of your camera can still be heard despite the headphones.
