How to Turn Off Camera Sound on iPhone
I like to take pictures of my cat when she's asleep, but as soon as she hears the shutter sound, she starts to move. While you can turn down your iPhone volume or turn off the Ring/Silent switch to turn off Camera sounds, this tip will show you how to mute the shutter without having to adjust your iPhone's volume.
Turning off the camera sound on an iPhone is easy! The shutter doesn't sound when you have Live Photos enabled. Once you've enabled Live Photos:
