Camera Shutter iPhone 6 Plus - No sound for first shot

Hi,


I have an iPhone 6 Plus, 128 GB in Space Grey.


The camera on my phone is peculiar in that for the first shot that I take, there is no shutter sound. For subsequent shots, then there will be.


If I don't use my camera for a while, say like half a day or a couple of hours, it happens again.


Any ideas?


Thanks

Hi arthertbc0702,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


From what i understand, the shutter sound works most of the time, but just not on the first shot. If this is the case, I may suggest a couple of different troubleshooting steps. My first suggestion would be force the Camera application to close and test fresh after opening the application again.

If the issue continues, the next step I would suggest would be to restart your iPhone and test again.

Have a great day,

I am having the same issue with my iphone 6 plus! The shutter doesn't make a sound on the first take, whether the camera is front facing or facing out. Once I exit and try again, it's okay. It's when it's not in use for a while.

Also, when I test my sounds when selecting a text or ring tone, it doesn't play on the first try either.

And to top off my list, the Calendar app doesn't have the "US Holidays" already embedded like the other phones! You have to manually subscribe to US Holidays and it has disappearing events! The dots are INCONSISTENT!! You need to download a 3rd party Calendar app. So disgusted with this new software for iPhone 6 Plus!!

I'm experiencing the same problem. I've tried resetting the device completely and that only worked for about 24 hours. Then I soft reset the phone...that worked for about 10 hours. I'm taking my phone in as none of my family members are experiencing this issue. It seems small, but it is super annoying and not something I would expect from something that costs $900. I forgot to mention I have 6+
