Steve Jobs and Apple: A pictorial timeline

Every iPhone camera emits a shutter click sound whenever you take a photo. Sometimes, that sound is an unnecessary and unwelcome intrusion—if you’re attending a meeting or are in a crowded room, you may prefer to take photos in silence. There are several methods for turning off the camera sound on your iPhone (whether you own the iPhone 15, iPhone 14, or an older model), including:

Turning on Live photo
Flipping the mute switch on your iPhone
Turning the volume down on your iPhone

Whether you're planning a special surprise for someone, want to hide an embarrassing photo from public view, or just want to keep certain images hidden, there are plenty of reasons to hide a photo on your iPhone's camera roll. Thankfully, iOS 17 supports a quick and easy way to separate out specific photos into a locked Hidden folder. This process works for iOS 16 also.

Soon after Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro began landing in customers’ hands on Friday, reports started surfacing of a troubling issue with the handset's camera.

When using the phone's camera within apps such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, some owners saw the camera mechanism starting to vibrate rapidly and also make a weird buzzing sound, causing an unstable and blurry image to appear on the display.
