How To Turn OFF Camera Shutter Sound On LG V30

The LG V30 smartphone is equipped with new top of the line cameras. With all that technology behind the lens, it would be ironic if you don’t know how to take silent pictures on your phone’s camera with no sound. The camera shutter sound is can be annoying to some people, especially if you take dozens of selfies in a day. It would be best just to take silent pictures instead.
For people living in the United States, taking silent pictures is illegal…at least in some states. Believe it or not, some state laws require 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 on the LG V30, or at least, just turn down camera shutter sound on the device.

How to Mute or Turn Down the Volume of Your LG V30

Alternatively, you can try turning off the camera sounds on the LG V30 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 of LG V30 until the phone goes into vibrate mode. When the LG V30 is on mute, the camera shutter sound will be muted when you go take a picture.

Plugging In Headphones Won’t Work

If you think that plugging your headphones into the LG V30 works, it doesn’t. Most likely than not, when you plug your headphones, all sounds coming from the device will be played through the headphones. But with the LG V30, 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.

Use a Third Party Camera App

The best method to switch off the LG V30 camera sound and take silent pictures is by taking advantage of a third party camera app. This is because the stock Android 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 Google Play Store and try different camera apps to see which one of those apps mutes the camera noise  on your LG V30.
