Turning off camera shutter sound in iPhone 6

If I buy an iPhone on Apple Japan online store, then I activate it abroad (e.g. in the US), after that, can I turn the camera shuttle sound off?

OMG....Really guys....I have had an iPhone for 3 hours and had the same question...a 5 second

yYouTube search anwersed it....turn mute on....so simple for so

much drama....wow.

Thanks, it helped, but we cannot take the full use of the iPhone camera features such as SLO-MO and PANO

How to find out that from which region is our phone from?

Cheers

The model number on your phone will show the region where it came from.

You can not buy a "certified refurbished" iPhone in the US. Apple doesn't sell them. Complain to whoever you bought the phone from.

Got it

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it

Trust me. No one actually cares what you're doing on your iPad.

Thank you for such kind & productive feedback. I wonder what if it was your ipad doing the same thing

Ok that's just your circumstance then.

May be try to understand what other situations could be rather than being cynical as if all other people here are megalomaniacs.

What happens if your not in Japan but the phone originally was?

You can minimize the noise by turning the volume down. I've also found that it's very easy to put your finger over the speaker at the bottom of the phone as you take a picture. That almost completely stops the sound.

First of all, where did you buy your iPhone 6?

Second, if it is Japanese model iPhone you cannot turn off the camera shutter sound completely because of the Japanese law of the upskirt photography. The shutter sound will stay on the entire time even if you have lower the volume down or silent the ringer on the phone. I spoke to an Apple Technician one time about certified refurbished phones. I bought an iPhone 5 on Amazon.com back in July, but two times already they sent me two Japanese iPhones and not a US certified iPhone. I had to return them both because I was unsatisfied with the Japanese iPhones. Therefore, I ended up buying it on Ebay. Before buying an iPhone, I would suggest to ask the seller first if they carry another country's phone before purchasing the phone. Keep in mind, different countries have different laws such as video chatting and picture taking.

If you live in Japan, I would suggest you to just keep the phone because of the law in Japan when taking photos of anything, the shutter sound has to stay on. There is no way the Japanese phone can control in turning off the shutter sound completely. Due to the Japan law of the upskirt photography, I do not think it is not such good idea to buy another country's iPhone in which you want to turn off the camera shutter sound completely. In Japan, they prohibited you to turn off the camera shutter sound completely.
