I know what you are first thinking, "Easy, just turn your phone switch to silent." Well no it is not that easy. This phone was purchased in South Korea. In Asia there is no way to silent the shutter sound because from what I have read there are too many perverts taking pics under girls' skirts etc. So by law they have to have the sound at all times. The thing is, it is so annoying. Even if I want to take a screen shot at midnight at night when everyone else is asleep there is still "ka-chick" and when all is silent its quite intrusive.

Anyone have any thoughts on how to silent the Asian iPhone via a trick or an app or some other method that I am unaware of? I tried to find something and so far have come up with nothing, thus why I am here.

Thanks

Hi, i have the same issue here.
Mine is iPhone 7 plus and bought in Korea.
Is there any other ways to solve this shutter sound issue (well, not technically an issue) without jailbreak?
I have concern with warranty validity if i try the jailbreak method.
I'm currently running in ios 10.3.3

Thanks

No. No other way.

Jailbreaking no longer voids warranty. That changed about two years ago.

But even if it did, restoring to stock before visiting Apple would remove the jailbreak. Which is one reason why jailbreakers never had an issue jailbreaking.

Ah thanks for your feedback.
Regarding the jailbreak, cz this is my first new iPhone in years so i had not follow a lot about this jailbreak thing, it will not voids warranty - does it apply in every country? I live in Indonesia (south east asia) and my iPhone has an international warranty service.
Excuse my lack of knowledge here.
Thanks.
