Does anyone know if the S9 / S9+ offers the ability to turn off the shutter sound when taking photos on all versions (carrier and unlocked)? Does it work on screenshots as well?
Trying to decide which to buy so any info would be great.
I've got S9 and there is no shutter sound when all volume options are turned down.
Nothing for screenshot either, it just vibrates.

EU/UK Exynos single sim SIM unlocked
It all depends on the country. On my Sony, whenever you connect to a Wifi, country is detected and shutter sound can or can't be turned off. Not sure about S9 but should be same behaviour.
There are ways to disable shutter sound totally with root and/or magisk and/or xposed
Unlocked US has shutter sound. No option to disable.
Exynos duos variant (European) - no shutter sound when System volume is off
US Unlocked S9 with VZW SIM, as long as the system volume is off, the camera shutter sound is off. I use Audio Guru and have set all profiles to system volume off, now I can use the camera without shutter no matter which sound profile is active.

Thanks for the information. Does the shutter sound stay off when taking screenshots as well?

It does for me. The phone just vibrates when I capture a screenshot.

What versions of the phone actually have the shutter sound option?
anyone know if the exynos version has the option to disable?
my us ATT S9+ has shutter sound option in camera settings
Verizon S9 has shutter sound option in camera settings
In the US, all carrier phones have a specific firmware that includes features and options not available in the 'Unlocked' version purchased directly from Samsung. You can always have the carrier's firmware flashed to your unlocked phone if you choose. Doing that will give you the option you see on most sites for disabling the shutter sound within the Camera Settings menu.
Thanks, will try as I hate that sound.
I wanted shutter sound off for S9+, even though phone was in a loud mode (not silent or vibrate) so here it is
app--> Settings --->Sounds & Vibrations --> Volume --->System .
On SYSTEM Drag on the slider all the way to left to make it silent/ mute till you see the slash no ringing symbol. This worked for me and should work for you too.

The shutter sound appears to be controlled by the "Media" volume. Setting it to silent also silences the shutter sound.
One can use the volume buttons while in camera mode to change the "Media" volume".
While this is not as beautiful as a setting option "Disable shutter sound", the lack thereof is not reason enough for me to bother with a custom rom.
Used to be the case in Gingerbread that you could just put the phone into Silent mode and the shutter sound wouldn't trigger.
That is not the case anymore.

What do you mean? That it used to be possible in Gingerbread and that now it is no longer possible in Gingerbread?
It seems to work for me on ICS right now. And the only volume I have to set to Silent is the Media volume. All other volumes can still be on. And the nice thing is that one can change the Media volume directly in camera mode, since the volume keys don't control the zoom.

I mean that putting the phone into silent by pressing and holding the power button and choosing Silent mode used to mute the shutter in Gingerbread, but that does not work in Ice Cream Sandwich.
How do i turn off the camera shutter sound and camcorder sound off? Thx
Think it depends on the ROM/camera your running
if you are not rooted, and using the TouchWiz Camera app, the shutter sound is on the very bottom of the settings (AT&T model, not sure about Rogers, Bell, or Telus).
if you're on a custom ROM, what jasvncnt1 said.
I think you have to be rooted in order to disable the shutter sounds as this is illegal in some states.
I recently flashed a stock french firmware for my I9195, and realized that camera shutter sound is ALWAYS ON despite vibrate/silent mode. I'm used to silence camera simply putting the phone in vibrate or silent mode. I don't need a shutter sound on/off option, I don't want to delete completely shutter sound, I'd simply like to have a silent camera when the phone is in silent/vibrate mode. As it was before.
I'm rooted. Tried google enforced stream silencer, and it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your attention guys :highfive:

I just got my hands to the LG G7+, this was bought on FlipKart(India). I have a strange issue that I am not able to disable the Camera shutter sound. I tried to put the phone on silent, vibrate, even do not distub, nothing works. The camera settings has no place where I can change this. Usually there is a shutter sound on or off toggle, but I cant find this in my phone.
How do I disable this? has anyone faced it and achieved success?
I am not sure if I am open for any rooting.
Please help.
Thanks,
V
Same issue wid me also, any1 to help...
I am not aware of any law in India which mandates this, so why LG?
I was reading in a few places that this happens if I use an Indian sim, I never used an Indian sim in my phone, I purchased it in India but i use it in UAE.
I have an European model. If I turn down the Ring volume, until muted (past Vibrate), the camera becomes silent.
The Ring volume, not the Media volume, not System volume, not Notification.

The ringer volume is already down when in silent or vibrate.
The app SilentCam Switch solved it for me.
I solved it with camera mute beta. Its notifications and badge can be also be deactivated via app options.

This works on my ULM 20e. Easier than figuring out TWRP/dm-verity/etc.
Thanks

It is mandatory to keep camera sounds in some regions/countries for responsible use/prevent misuse. You will neither have the option to turn off the camera sounds nor silencing the phone would silence it.
Like many suggestions already mentioned here, a workaround to this is installing Forced MuteMode which will let you mute the whole device or selected apps with its Auto MuteMode feature.
has anyone tried with root and removing the audio shutter files?
i did and it doesn't work wth
My wife and I both have a Note 10+. Hers makes a shutter sound but mine doesn't.
Both UK sim free direct from Samsung.
How can I switch mine on? There is no option under camera settings where the YouTube videos say it should be - on either phone!
Check your sound/volume up is on?
As I like the shutter sound, I had not noticed this, mine sounds everytime, can not find how to turn it off!, mostlt to take pictures in silent places…

r u sure? Look below "storage location" in "camera settings"
No storage location nor shutter sound under camera settings on mine n10+ either (UK). Could be regional limitation

Simply turn the sound off or put it on vibrate sound mode
Open the Camera app, press the gear icon, and scroll down to the bottom. The third option from the bottom should be "Shutter Sound"
No not there - although I can't share the screen grab I took. But if it's a regional variation then why are our 2 different? (I.e one does it and one doesn't not that it's in either phone's menu)
it's there, Note 10+:
try clear caches, reboot etc... the last resort: factory reset, something must've happened during previous OTAs
[/ATTACH]
Mine's a Malaysian variant. Doesn't have that option.
I think its a regional thing here that has to do with privacy or discouraging stalking sort of thing.
Anyway, I found a workaround to gain control over the shutter sound. Under Volume, there should be 5 settings, I made sure the "System" channel was silent. That's the channel the shutter sound makes, along with the Charging sound etc.
(So to OP, check that volume setting)
Since I want the charging sound (but not the shutter sound) I got Tasker to play a sound for charging using the Ringtone channel.
So now I get a sound when I charge (wired and wireless), but my camera is silent.
Well, there are two versions, I pulled out both manuals, one for EU and the other for US and the EU version doesn't mention that shutter sound anywhere so, you have to call Samsung on that.

That's the mystery I'm intrigued by myself, what does the model number say on each phone? (Settings>About phone) and, most importantly, the camera software version(on the bottom of Camera App info) - if you don't mind sharing that
No shutter sound option available in my exynos note10+, Maybe it is a country related thing, just like the call recording limitations per country
It depends on your CSC (OMC). On my International Snapdragon Note 10 + with TGY or BRI CSC (the phone came with BRI which is Taiwan) the camera shutter sound toggle is not there but after flashing the T-Mobile OMC (thanks to MentalMuso) it shows up in camera settings as does call recording in the stock dialer. You need to be rooted to flash it as it's a Magisk module that changes the OMC to the carrier of your choice.
Ok, same serial number on both - SM-N975F but one with sound & one not, but neither with the option menu.
To make the camera silent/shutter sound off
Actually this is the only option available so far. N975F.
