Use the Silent Mode Switch

Just remember to switch back to normal mode when you’re done to ensure you don’t miss any important calls or notifications.

To enable Do Not Disturb mode, simply swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to access the Control Center. Then, tap on the crescent moon icon to activate Do Not Disturb. You can also schedule Do Not Disturb to turn on automatically during certain times of the day or night.

Try taking a photo using the Camera app. If the camera sound settings have been successfully adjusted, you should either hear a reduced sound or no sound at all when capturing an image.
I found that toggling off the System Haptics really helped me. I didn't realize it also affected the camera sounds! I used to always have to mute my phone, and that was annoying. Now I can still get calls without worrying about the shutter sound.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Many users find that toggling off System Haptics is an effective way to manage camera sounds without missing important notifications.
Is there a way to turn off the camera sound without putting the iPhone on silent mode? Sometimes I just want to lower the sound for that without affecting other notifications.
I think it's a bit of a hassle to have to go through all these settings just to mute the camera. Other phone brands have a simpler way to do this!
