How to turn off camera sound from iPhone and iPad

One of the most annoying things about taking pictures with your iPhone or iPad is that it always makes a slightly loud sound to mimic a conventional camera. Of course, this does not please everyone and may even be inconvenient in certain situations. Even if Apple doesn't provide a way to turn off the feature easily, there is a way around it. To know how to do this, just check out our tips below!

Turning off iOS camera sound

Quite unlike Android, iOS doesn't have an option that mutes iPhone and iPad camera sound permanently. To achieve this, you need to jailbreak the device and install a modification.

Fortunately, there is an alternative method that you can resort to when you don't want your camera to make noise. For this, we will use the sound button of the device, which basically serves to silence or reactivate your ringtones.

This button is usually on the top or side of the device, depending on the model you are using. If you don't know which button we're talking about, we highlight it in the image below:

With that in mind, unlock your iPhone or iPad.

Then use the button we mentioned and the ringtones will be muted and you will see the warning below as confirmation.

Very simple, isn't it ?! Now you can open the camera app to take your photos without worrying about that annoying sound. Of course this means that all other sounds on the device will be muting them, so remember to reverse the process later.
