May I to turn off camera shutter?

How to turn off camera shutter?

I couldn’t find the option to turn off it and precise information related to my IPhone (IMEI ***, ser. no DR***9MK).



Is this adjustment prohibited for my phone? I bought the phone from an unauthorised store and then read that in some countries this sound can't be turned off.

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 specifically for a country that does not allow shutting off the sound.


What is the iPhone Model No/ MT0G2J/A ----> On your iPhone. Settings > General > About

"J" means it's made Japan

"X" means it's for Australia

"AB" means UAE


The other letter and digits in the model number may vary. as an e.g. MT0G2J/A
