Cannot not turn off system sounds

I've turned off ALL sound settings, every switch in the menu, and it still makes loud sounds when I submit or take a screenshot or it fails to Face ID, and I'm furious because this was a time when I had to be totally quiet...how can I have it ONLY make a sound when I receive a call?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

We understand ggyuu,


The screenshot is tied to the camera, so you need to disable the camera noise in order to mute the screenshot. However, if the sound persists when system sounds are muted, then your iPhone might originate in a place where sounds like camera shutters and screenshots cannot be disabled. Some countries do not permit these to be muted.

Hello Ggyuu,


We'd like to provide you with some information that may be able not assist you with the camera sounds on your iPhone:

"Adjust the shutter volume on your iPhone camera

You can adjust the sound of the Camera  shutter, or mute it using the Ring/Silent switch on the side of your iPhone.

Change the volume of the shutter sound in Photo mode

  1. In Camera, switch to photo mode.
  2. Open Control Center, then drag the volume slider up or down.
  3. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go back to Camera.

Note: The shutter doesn’t make a sound when Live Photos the Live Photo button is turned on (except in some countries and regions).


Mute the shutter sound

Mute the shutter sound using the Ring/Silent switch on the side of your iPhone. To put iPhone in silent mode, set the Ring/Silent switch so that the switch shows orange. To turn off silent mode, set the switch back.

Note: In some countries and regions, you can’t mute the shutter sound."


We hope this helps.
