Remove the shutter sound on your iPhone

iMute is a specialized tool designed by iTooLabs for Japan and South Korea-marked iPhones. This application allows you to disable the iPhone shutter sound whenever you use your device’s camera app. Note, however, that this app requires a license.

Additionally, users must be aware that using this app requires jailbreaking their devices. Don’t worry, though. The app automatically downloads the jailbreak tool. With this, you do not need to install a separate jailbreaking tool. However, iMute only supports a single device with every use, meaning if you connect several devices simultaneously, the process will not be initialized.

What is iMute?

If you are an owner of a Japan or South Korea Domestic Marked-issued iPhone, chances are you have heard of the permanent and enforced camera shutter sound. Whenever you take a photo, the camera app will forcibly make a clicking sound. Worse, you cannot turn it off. While this feature is good for other people’s privacy and consent, loud shutter noise can be embarrassing, especially when taking pictures at events.

iMute is an app designed to address the dreaded camera shutter sound for these models. As noted, its sole purpose is to disable the sound when taking a picture. Using the app is easy and can be done in a few steps. You only need to connect your phone to your computer. However, you will need to jailbreak your device before you can disable the shutter sound.

The app downloads the jailbreaking tool for you. Once downloaded, you can follow the instruction and have your device jailbroken in five minutes. You can then proceed to remove the shutter sound by clicking the Turn Off button. You should know that iMute only works with one device at a time. Connecting several iPhones will stop the app from working. 

Works but with limitations

Overall, iMute is a helpful tool if you use an iPhone device sold in Japan and South Korea. With this app, you can remove the sound that your camera makes whenever you take a picture. The app is easy to use and only requires a little storage space. Although, it comes with a few limitations that make the app seem not worth its price.
