If you own an iPhone 6 Plus and find the camera sound annoying or disruptive, you’ll be pleased to know that there is a way to turn it off. The camera sound is a default feature on iPhones to comply with local laws regarding privacy and consent when taking photos. However, there are methods you can use to silence the camera shutter sound on your iPhone 6 Plus without jailbreaking or violating any terms of service.
Method 1: Muting the Phone
One simple way to disable the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus is by muting the phone. When your iPhone is in silent mode (with the switch on the side set to silent), the camera shutter sound will be muted as well. This is a quick and easy solution if you don’t mind silencing all other sounds on your device.
How to Turn Off Camera Sound on iPhone 6 Plus
If you want to take photos silently on your iPhone 6 Plus without the camera making a sound, you can follow these simple steps to turn off the camera sound:
- Open the Camera app on your iPhone 6 Plus.
- Go to the top of the screen and tap on the “Live Photo” icon.
- Switch the Live Photo feature off by tapping on it. This will disable the sound that the camera makes when taking a photo.
After following these steps, your iPhone 6 Plus camera will no longer emit a sound when you take pictures. Remember to check your local laws and regulations regarding muting camera sounds before using this feature in public places.
Access the Camera App
To switch off the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, you need to access the Camera app on your device. Follow these steps to access the Camera app:
- Unlock Your iPhone: Press the Home button or use Touch ID to unlock your iPhone.
- Find the Camera App Icon: Look for the Camera app icon on your home screen. It looks like a camera shutter.
- Tap on the Camera App: Tap on the Camera app icon to open the Camera app on your iPhone 6 Plus.
Put Your iPhone in Silent Mode
If you want to silence the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, you can simply put your phone in silent mode. Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Locate the Silent Switch
On the side of your iPhone 6 Plus, you will find a small switch just above the volume buttons. This switch is called the silent switch.
Step 2: Toggle the Silent Switch
To put your iPhone in silent mode, simply toggle the silent switch towards the back of your phone. You will see the orange indicator appear, indicating that your phone is now in silent mode.
| Note: Putting your iPhone in silent mode will not only silence the camera sound but also mute all other sounds on your device. |
Use the Mute Switch
If you want to mute the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, you can simply use the mute switch located on the side of your device. This switch is designed to quickly silence all sounds on your phone, including the camera shutter sound.
To mute the camera sound, simply toggle the mute switch to the “silent” position. You will see a small orange indicator on the switch when the phone is muted. Once the switch is in the silent position, the camera shutter sound will be disabled, allowing you to take photos without any noise.
Adjust Volume Settings
If you want to turn off the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, you can adjust the volume settings to achieve this. Here’s how you can do it:
- Locate the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone 6 Plus.
- Press the volume down button until the volume is set to the lowest level or until it reaches the mute setting.
- Once the volume is muted, the camera shutter sound will also be muted when you take a photo.
By adjusting the volume settings on your iPhone 6 Plus, you can effectively turn off the camera sound without having to make any changes to the device’s settings.
Check the Ringer Volume
If you want to turn off the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, the first thing you should check is the ringer volume settings. The camera sound is directly tied to the ringer volume, so adjusting the ringer volume will also affect the camera sound.
To check the ringer volume, simply press the volume up or down buttons on the side of your iPhone. You can also go to “Settings” > “Sounds” and adjust the volume slider for the ringer. Make sure the volume is not set to silent mode or vibration mode, as this will mute the camera sound as well.
Disable Live Photos
If you want to turn off the Live Photos feature on your iPhone 6 Plus to avoid the camera sound, follow these steps:
| Step 1: | Open the Camera app on your iPhone. |
| Step 2: | Look for the Live Photos icon at the top of the screen (it looks like three concentric circles). |
| Step 3: | Tap on the Live Photos icon to disable the feature (the icon will turn white). |
| Step 4: | Now, when you take a photo, it will no longer capture a Live Photo and the camera sound will be muted. |
Additional Tip:
If you want to completely turn off the camera sound on your iPhone 6 Plus, you can also toggle the mute switch on the side of your device to silence all sounds, including the camera shutter sound.
