✨ How do I enable/disable the shutter sound

Question

How do I enable or disable the shutter sound when taking a photo?

For some reason, when testing on my physical iPhone device, the sound plays when flash is off but doesn't play when flash is on.

Is this customizable? Thanks!

What I tried

No response

VisionCamera Version

2.4.1

The shutter sound is always played in the image capture pipeline:

But it looks like this actually can be customized by disposing the sound (see this SO post). I'll mark this as a feature request and get to this soon

[mrousavy]

yeah it's pretty easily possible - will take a look soon. Does the shutter sound also play on Android?

On android native camera there is a shutter sound

Hey @mrousavy, any update? This feature would be awesome! :)

[mrousavy]

Hey @JurianBoots, unfortunately not yet. I've had higher priorities in the past few days, such as my agency Margelo, as well as other issues/PRs in VisionCamera/MMKV created by my GitHub sponsors.

Could we please prioritize either this, or taking snapshots on iOS? I'm trying to make blurry previews of the camera, ideally this would be a low-quality snapshot but since that's not available on iOS I resorted to taking photos which plays the shutter sound even though the user did not trigger the photo.

[mrousavy]

Could we please prioritize either this

Sure, you can prioritize this. Shoot me a PR if you have a working change.

Yea just a sec

Hello, any update?

[RONAKDHOLARIYA]

I found a way to disable the shutter should

1. open PhotoCaptureDelegate
2. find func photoOutput
3. add given line into the function and rebuild the app

// dispose system shutter sound 
AudioServicesDisposeSystemSoundID(1108)

Hey! I just implemented this in V3! :) https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/pull/1702

[jagdeepChicmic]

file shoes merged but code not reflected in 2.16.1 version(for ios)

[jeemercado]

@mrousavy any way we could update this for V2?

[mrousavy]

Hey - no, this is a V3 feature. I'm not adding any more features to V2, as I already spend a lot of time on V3 and I don't have any more free time to dedicate to V2.
