Re: [apple-iphone] Silencing camera shutter sound without affecting any other sounds

 

I have not found one, and I don't have a problem muting the phone for the few occasions I don't want a lens click.

As to the "official" Apple support page with multiple people, that sounds like the Discussions and Apple employees seldom respond there, so there is nothing "official" there. So yes, I can believe that.

Does anyone have advice for silencing the "shutter-click" sound on the camera without silencing the entire phone, or affecting any other sounds?  I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.4, and I never want the "click" sound: it often disrupts the experience I'm trying to photograph.  I've read 3 solutions that the moderators will allow me to mention here, none of which are sufficient:

 

1) Turn the ringer off (silencing the phone).  I've missed calls because the alarm was silenced when I forgot to turn the ringer back on after taking some photos.

 

2) Turn the volume down (on the homescreen or while playing music or etc.).  Again, then I miss alarms, texts, the phone ringing, and any other sounds.

 

3) Cover the speaker with your thumb.  Seriously!  That was a real answer by multiple people on an official Apple support page.  Can you believe that?

I'm hoping someone has a different answer.  Thanks in advance if you do.
