AndroidTutor2018- Most smartphones produce a fake shutter sound when you take a picture. This sound can be loud and annoying, especially when you’re trying to discreetly snap a candid picture of a friend or a bunch of selfies. Getting rid of the shutter sound can be as easy as turning down the volume on some devices, whilst for others a little more effort may be involved. Find out how to turn off the camera shutter sound on your phone below.

New phones to look forward to in 2017
Before you turn off the shutter sounds on your phone, here's a word of caution. In some territories, privacy laws make it illegal for anyone to turn off the camera shutter sound. Make sure that it is legal in your location before following any of the instructions below.
In most cases, your phone's sound profile will override your camera shutter sound options. So, if your phone is on silent, you shouldn't hear a peep from the camera anyway. But, if that or the tips below don't work for your Android phone, you can try downloading a third party app such as Silent Camera Pro.

How to turn off the camera shutter sound on stock Android
Devices like the Nexus 5X and the Pixel run stock versions of Android. Stock Android doesn't have a camera setting for disabling the camera shutter sound. Instead, you will have to turn your notifications/alerts profile to silent, do not disturb or vibrate. This can be done using the volume keys on the side of your device that act as master volume controls. Newer devices which run near-stock Android tend to use the same method, so newer devices tend to be more intuitive.

How to turn off the camera shutter sound on a Samsung
On some Samsung devices, you have to hit the cog wheel in the camera app and you will find the Shutter sound option on the following page. Switch it to Off for some peace and quiet.
On some newer Samsung devices, like the S7 or S7 Edge, all you need to do is change the master volume settings and the shutter sound will turn off when they're set to vibrate or silent.

How to turn off the camera shutter sound on an LG
Like stock Android, LG’s Lollipop camera software doesn’t have a camera shutter option. Instead, it is tied to your priorities/notification sound profile. Set this to Do not disturb or Vibrate and you won’t hear a sound when you take a photo.

On some HTC models disabling the camera shutter sound can be a convoluted process, but it is still effective. From your camera app, hit the three dots (hamburger) icon, then the cog wheel icon and go to General settings > Camera shutter sound. Untick the box.
On the newer HTC 10, it is the same as for stock Android devices. Just change your master volume settings, and the shutter sound will be silenced.

I figured out this much so far. While I was on vacation in Japan, I insert SIM for Japanese network service provider,
the ON/OFF switch in Camera application disappears (means it is always ON, regardless Data Only SIM or Talk SIM).
I thought Android figures out where I am from GPS, then it disables the ON/OFF switch, but that's not the case.
When I came back to Canada, it stayed the same way (makes shutter sound) but as soon as I removed Japanese SIM, the ON/OFF function becomes be available. Canadian or US SIM doesn't do this.
From this, I think somehow Android looks into the some data for origin of SIM where service available.
It is required to make shutter sound on cell phone Camera in Japan. This occurs in all of my SONY Xperia (Tipo, Go, M, Z Ultra, Z3 Tablet). Just for your information, Windows Phone doesn't care about SIM.
