Switch off sound from smartphone camera - how it works

With some smartphones, the camera sound can be switched off via the settings in the camera app supplied by the manufacturer. However, this is not the case for Samsung and LG devices, for example. But here too there are ways and means.

Switch off camera sound from smartphone

The trigger tone of the smartphone camera is not always desired and sometimes disturbs, for example at theater performances or other events. To turn off the sound:

• If you haven't rooted your smartphone, you can simply download an app with which the camera sound can be switched off. These applications include, for example, "Silent Camera" or "CameraMute".
• Another option is to completely mute the phone. But be careful: the camera does not go silent with every device.
• Smartphones with root receive a larger selection of apps that can be used to switch off the sound. For example "Ultimate Sound Control".
• Some custom ROMs also have the option to turn off the sound of the camera.
