S24 Ultra UK Version Shutter Sound

[Zer0X]

Hello, I bought the S24 Ultra phone a short time ago and I was searching in the settings for the feature to turn off the shutter sound, but I was surprised that it was not there, although it is available in my friends’ phones, I asked Samsung support and they told me it's not available in the UK version but you can mute your phone before taking the photo! What! 🤣 

I don't know what the point to make it not available in the UK and why and I don't think it's fair.

If I had known this was the case I was able to buy a global version phone but they didn't tell me they would block some features here because I live in the UK I can buy the phone from another country 🫤

Hi there and welcome to the Samsung UK Community Forum

This question was asked back in January and the Moderation Team confirmed that it isn't possible to turn off the shutter sound in camera settings.

Use modes and routines. When starting the camera application - media volume to zero - when closing the camera, volume back.

I wouldn't have thought the sound would make that much of a difference it's not as such loud.

There isn't as such a global Samsung phone.
Each region will have differences in software.
But there has been other features removed that seems puzzling.
One annoying one for me was on the Z Fold phones, swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to get to notifications
Used to use it a lot.
There must be a reason for both.

Maybe go into the support section on the Members App and leave feedback there for development teams to see

This feature is not available to stop people taking pictures of unexpected victims without them knowing

Not everyone have their morals in check

Makes sense to me

It's a privacy scenario @Zer0X

It's not available to stop people taking photos of others without their knowledge, it's basically to make illegal activity harder. 

If you live in the UK i would advise against getting a handset meant for another region, samsung pay might not work as well as 5g and so on, also lack of warranty etc.
