Therefore, sales of such smartphones are growing every day, which means that there are many inexperienced users who are just getting to know Android. This article is focused on them.
In the article we will talk about how to turn off the camera sound on Android when taking pictures. Although this cannot be written down in the section of important problems, inconveniences can still arise. After reading the article to the end, you will learn four ways to eliminate sound when shooting. Some of them may not be suitable for your version of Android, so it is recommended to try everything to understand for yourself which methodenjoy.
Turn off the sound in the settings
The first way would be to consider how to turn off the camera sound on a Samsung Android. However, it should be noted right away that it can be applied to other smartphone models. So, we will use the standard phone camera settings.
Initially, you need to get into the settings themselves. To do this, open the camera and find the corresponding icon in the application. It is most often displayed as a gear or as a wrench and screwdriver crossed.
Once in the settings themselves, find the item we need. It can be called differently, but the meaning should remain the same, for example, "Shutter Sound". Now just disable this option in the program.
This was the first way to turn off the camera sound on Android. But as you can see, it will not help everyone, because owners of non-Samsung smartphones will most likely not find the corresponding item in the application settings. Therefore, now we will move on to the next, more universal method.
Set the silent mode
The second way to turn off the camera sound on Android is painfully simple. Most users most often guess on their own about this method, but for those who have not yet understood, now we will explain the very essence.
We need to put the smartphone in the "Vibro" mode, or as it is also called "Silent mode". It's donevery simple. On many phones, this feature is moved to the notification panel itself, and some will have to go into the settings, but, one way or another, this method will allow you to get rid of the sound when shooting from the camera.
We use third party software
Now let's talk about how to turn off the camera sound on Android using third-party software that can be downloaded both as an APK package and from the well-known Play Store.
There are an unimaginable number of variations of applications that will make shooting from a smartphone silent. But one of the best is deservedly considered "High Speed Camera (Quiet)".
You can download the program by entering a request with its name in the Play Store or by downloading the APK file on the Internet. However, be careful, because there are often programs with viruses in the public domain that can significantly harm your device. Based on this, we can conclude that it is best to download from the Play Store.
Using root rights
If for some reason the above methods did not help you, then there is only one thing left - changing the files responsible for the soundtrack of shooting from the camera. Now we will figure out in detail how to turn off the camera sound on Android in this way.
So, first of all, you need to get root rights. After you do this, you can make changes to system files.
Now you need to get to the right folder. To do this, use any file manager,which you have on your phone, or downloaded from the Internet. You need to enter the folder located at: /system/media/audio/ui/. There will be two files in the folder: camera_click.ogg and camera_focus.ogg. Please note that titles may vary. Now you need to delete these files. After this, there will be no sound. Also, if you do not want to delete them, you can rename them, the result will be the same.
