One of the most common annoyances for iPhone users is the loud camera shutter sound that goes off every time a photo is taken. While this feature is intended to alert others that a photo is being taken, it can be disruptive in certain situations.
Fortunately, there are ways to mute or reduce the camera shutter sound on an iPhone 8 Plus. Apple typically does not allow users to completely disable the shutter sound due to privacy concerns, but there are some workarounds that can help minimize the noise.
One option is to switch your iPhone to silent mode by toggling the physical switch on the side of the device. This will silence all sounds, including the camera shutter sound. Another method is to turn down the volume on your iPhone before taking a photo, as the shutter sound is tied to the volume level.
How to Silence iPhone 8 Plus Camera Shutter Sound
If you want to take photos silently on your iPhone 8 Plus without the camera shutter sound, there are a few ways to achieve this:
1. Turn Off the Ringer/Silent Switch: Make sure the ringer/silent switch on the side of your iPhone is set to silent mode. This will mute all sounds, including the camera shutter sound.
2. Use Live Photos: When taking photos using Live Photos mode, the camera shutter sound is automatically muted. Simply enable Live Photos by tapping the icon at the top of the camera interface.
3. Turn Off Camera Sound in Settings: Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > and toggle off “Camera Sounds.” This will disable the camera shutter sound for all photos.
By following these steps, you can capture photos on your iPhone 8 Plus without the camera shutter sound interrupting the moment.
