How do I turn off the iPhone camera shutter sound?

Short answerSwitch the phone to silent with the Ring/Silent switch or the Action button. In some countries, including Japan and South Korea, iPhones sold there play the shutter sound regardless, because of local rules.

Respect other people’s privacy when photographing quietly.
