There may be many people who have ever heard it, but I am sure that many others had no idea, and it is something very curious, especially for those who always have the iPhone in silence, since we do not know almost even as it originally sounds.
Well, yes, in Japan, if you have an iPhone and You take a photo, the sound will sound To capture it, even though you have everything in silence, and it cannot be eliminated under any circumstances, which makes it very curious, but what if you leave the country?, and if I go with an iPhone of Spain? Let's see all this.
Why does it sound when taking a photo on an iPhone in Japan
And is that, the iPhones sold in Japanas well as South Korea and other Asian countries, they have the sound of the active shutter always, let's do what we do, that is, there is no way to silence it, neither in our house, nor in a religious place.
This is due to a standard that was implemented in the country to Prevent photos and videos not spoiledespecially in public places such as trains or schools. It was sought to avoid cases of voyeurism or harassment with hidden cameras on mobile phones.
It works both if it is a front and rear cameraas well as the beginning of the videos, which does not mean that we can be recording a good time, avoiding that they find out about a photo, but we cannot do it in a surprise way at a given time without it not being heard (unless the background noise camoufled it).
Change country in your account settings, or lower third -party apps, is useless, and this is configured in such a way that even in them, where we include Instagram, WhatsApp, etc., will also sound.
How to know if an iPhone in Japanese and how to deactivate it outside the country
To check this, you can go to settings> General> Information and look for the model. If it ends in “J/A”, it is a version for the Japanese market, something that Apple is not going to sell you in Spain, but that if you are going to look for a second -hand iPhone, it is something that could happen.
Can you deactivate?
Yes, calm that if you are not in Japan, and you do not have a card from that country, there will be no problem. With iOS 15 or higher, if you are using the iPhone in a country other than Japan and the SIM is from that country, the system can allow the camera to be silenced, so, despite acquiring one from there, in Spain it would not sound.
And you, did you know this? Do you think that in a country it would be necessary for a norm like this to be implemented, or do you consider that it can be annoying in certain areas where everyone is taking pictures? It has to be curious, with what Japanese likes cameras and immortalize everything. Leave us a comment with what you think of it if you did not know him, although from now on you already know, in case you go to Japan.
