You can't if your phone is from China or Japan, they don't have a system like an English phone but if not there's a way to solve it on the left side there's a little line and you can move it forward and back click it backwards to the left and it should work I hope this helps you all.

As has already been explained, the mute switch does NOT silence the shutter sound on phones purchased in countries where that's not permitted.

Hello can you give more countries that shutter sound is prohibited. Is philippine one of those country? Thank You.

No, I don't know of any such list. I know Japan is a country with such a stipulation. If the phone was originally sold for use in Japan, you won't be able to turn off the shutter sound even if you're now using it in the Philippines.
