How to turn on Shutter sound iPhone 11 iOS 18

My camera shutter sound is off and I cannot find where/how to turn it on. I have checked that the Mute/Silent switch is off and the ringtone volume slider is on.

This leads me to believe you have an iPhone manufactured for the Japan or South Korea markets. If you do, they will never make a shutter sound.


Check in Settings > General > About > Model - tap the model to reveal a model number like A2306. If your phone's model is A2223, it was manufactured for those specific markets, where the shutter sound is prohibited.
