iPhone 13 Japanese version

Hi be_sh_oy,

We understand you have questions on muting the camera shutter sound when taking a picture. We're happy to offer some guidance.

All phones manufactured for the Japan region are required to have a camera shutter sound that can not be turned off or disabled. This is determined by the model iPhone you have, and not where you're currently located or the location you have your device set to.

So for example, if you have a Japanese model iPhone and you travel outside of Japan or change the devices location setting, the camera shutter sound will not suddenly start to mute when you put the device in silent mode. An iPhone manufactured for the Japanese market will always have a shutter sound, there is no way around that.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

As i checked, i live in oman. and when we insert the oman sim in the mobile, the shutter sound gone.

its only work when u put sim of other country and that sim is active and working.

and when i activate flight mode then shutter sound come back. and when i removed sim card , then also shutter sound come back.

its only mute when sim is in the phone.

Thats i experienced.

Hope this helpfull.
