Mute Camera - Android 16

Standard camera, video recorders, or your favorite camera app — silence any app you choose and shoot without the shutter sound. With this one app, every camera becomes a quiet "manner camera" that still takes photos at full quality. Try every feature free for 48 hours, then keep it with a one-time in-app purchase.

When an app you've registered launches, the device sound is muted automatically; when you close it, the sound is restored automatically.

[About the free trial]
- All features, no limits, for 48 hours after installation.
- When the trial ends, muting stops. To keep it, buy the in-app "Full version unlock" — one-time, not a subscription.
- Reinstalling does not reset the trial.
- Some devices cannot be muted by design, so please check during the trial. Refund steps are inside the app.

* Some devices cannot be silenced due to their specifications.
On some devices from Samsung, OPPO, LG, Sony, Sharp, ZTE and others, muting may not be possible by design. You can check on your device during the free trial.

[Features]

►Per-app automatic muting
Detects when a registered camera app launches and mutes the device, then un-mutes when it closes.

►Manual muting
Toggle muting with one tap from the app, a widget, the status-bar notification, or a Quick Settings tile.

►Floating icon
Show it over your camera app to see at a glance whether muting is active.

►Auto un-mute during calls and with headphones
Even if you forget muting is on, sound returns automatically when a call starts and mutes again when it ends. The same applies while headphones or a Bluetooth device are connected. Both can be turned off in the settings.

[How this differs from other silent camera apps]
Most silent camera apps shoot with their own camera, so quality suffers. This app has no camera of its own — it temporarily disables the device's sound, so you keep using your usual camera app at full quality.

[What happens while muting is on]
- Camera shutter and video start/stop sounds are silent.
- Screenshot sounds are silent too.
- Music, videos, notifications and alarms are all silent.
- Sound returns during calls and with headphones (configurable).

[Notes]
- Manual muting keeps all sound disabled until you turn it off. Per-app auto-muting turns on only while the camera is open, so you never forget.
- If you uninstall while manual muting is on, you can't turn it off. Always disable muting before uninstalling.

[If muting doesn't work]
The "If muting doesn't work" screen inside the app lists what to try. In order:
1. Restart your device and try again — a temporary state is often the cause.
2. Check for other muting or volume apps, which can interfere.
3. Switch the "app start/end detection method" setting.
4. Exclude this app from battery optimization.
5. If it still fails, your device may not support muting by design. Refund steps are provided inside the app.

[FAQ]
Q. Ringtones and notifications went silent too.
A. That is by design — this app disables all device sound. Use per-app auto-muting so it is silent only while you use the camera.

Q. What happens when the trial ends?
A. Muting stops working. Buy the in-app "Full version unlock" (one-time) to use it without a time limit.
