How to Turn Off Screenshot Shutter Sound on Android The unpleasant shutter sound appears whenever you try to take a screenshot on Android. Even if you put your phone on silent mode, the sound persists. Here are some options for muting the screenshot shutter sound on your Android phone to avoid being misunderstood by others while taking images.
Let's get started.
Imagine having your phone on silent mode so you don't bother anyone or draw attention to yourself. However, when you capture a screenshot, your phone produces that noise. Worse, on some phones, this sound is quite similar to that of the camera shutter. As a result, others may believe you've taken their image.
You may be out of luck if you own a Google Pixel or any other phone that runs stock or almost stock Android. Because, as unexpected as it may seem, there is no straightforward way to turn off screenshot sound on default Android. Here's how to do it if you have an Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, or Xiaomi cellphone.
On Android, disable the screenshot sound.
If you switch ringer modes, this will not be activated again. You'll have to go back and manually enable the option. Samsung's devices perform as predicted, so you don't need to do anything other than silence the phone to silence the screenshot sound.
The screenshot shutter sound cannot be turned off on some smartphones, particularly Samsung models. Putting your phone on silent mode should help in such situations.
After putting our Samsung Galaxy phone in silent mode, we attempted to grab screenshots. Surprisingly, it also turned off the screenshot shutter sound, which is a welcome relief. If your Android phone does not have a silent mode or vibrating mode, try enabling silent mode or vibrating mode.
There is a way to taking silent screenshots if you have a Pixel or a device running vanilla Android. As the title suggests, taking a screenshot with Google Assistant produces no sound. Ringer modes have no effect on this.
1.Google Assistant will be launched.
2.Select the keyboard icon and enter the following command: take a screenshot, or snap a picture of a picture
3.After then, Google Assistant will snap a screenshot without making a sound.
The Android share sheet appears as soon as the screenshot is taken. You can share the screenshot directly from this page, but bear in mind that it is not yet saved. As a result, if you share it on an app, the screenshot will not appear in your gallery.
If you were going to erase the screenshot anyhow, this is a fine option. Tap the Edit button, then Save if you want to save the screenshot.
When Google Assistant appears, you can also speak the screenshot command instead of typing it. However, that defeats the purpose of snapping a snapshot in the absence of sound. You can also test a variety of third-party apps from the Google Play Store. Many of these don't make a sound or have a switch to turn it off.
Samsung phones operate a little differently than other Android phones. That is, for the first time, in this case, for the better. When you put your Samsung smartphone into silent or vibrate mode, the screenshot sound is immediately turned off. This is not just practical, but also reasonable and expected behaviour.
This feature is not available on Google Pixel devices or other Android devices running stock Android. Screenshots make a sound even when the phone is set to silent mode. Screenshots make a sound even if the level of the media, ringer, and alarm is turned all the way down. Only capturing a screenshot with Google Assistant or utilising third-party screenshot apps can help you prevent it.
