iPhone 8 shutter sound not turning off.

I have an iPhone 8 and whenever I go to take a picture my phone always makes the shutter sound, regardless to either if my ringer is off or my sound is all the way down. I have done some research and I am seeing it is a possibility that my iPhone was from Japan or Korea where they purposely make the iPhones like this. If this is my case, is there anything I can do to turn off my shutter!!

There are many countries where putting camera shutters to silent is illegal (e.g. Japan)


Hence if you have bought an iPhone from Japan or any of these countries, you cannot put it off, it has been designed specific for the country


MWHM2J/A - "J" indicates it is designed for Japan
