Iphone 12 pro camera shutter sound, please help

I have purchased a brand new iphone 12 pro and updated the latest software 14.6. The camera makes the shutter sound when on silent and also when the volume button is at its lowest also. How do i turn it off?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

There are many countries where putting camera shutters to silent is illegal (e.g. Japan)


Hence, if you have bought an iPhone from Japan or any of these countries, you cannot put it off, it has been designed specifically for a country that does not allow shutting off the sound.

"J" means it's made Japan

"X" means it's for Australia

"AB" means UAE


The other letter and digits in the model number may vary. as an e.g. MT0G2J/A
