In case you just bought a Japanese iPhone, you probably already realized that it makes an audible shutter sound whenever you are taken a picture. 

Most people tend to turn off the camera shutter sound as soon as they are trying it for the first time since it is kind of annoying. However, according to Japanese law, you can't do this. The reality is that all smartphones that are sold in Japan need to have the camera shutter sound on by default and it can't be turned off. Why? The goal is to prevent people from taking photos from others without their permission. Thus, if you get a photo taken secretly, the camera makes a sound so you can notice it.

However, it is possible to turn the iPhone 11 Japan shutter sound off. 

6 Ways To Turn The Japanese iPhone Shutter Sound Off

#1: Use the Music App:

One of the things that you can try to do to turn the Japanese iPhone camera sound off is to use your Music app. To do so, you'll need to open this app and then start playing a song. You will then need to turn the volume down to nothing. If you now try to use your camera, you won't hear any clicks. 

#2: Use the Accessibility Tab:

Another option that you can try to ensure that you can turn off the iPhone Japan shutter sound is to tap on the accessibility on your iPhone. In case you are running the iOS 10, you just need to customize a button to mute the phone. By doing this you are also muting the camera.
