    Not embarrassing but prepare for the assault!

    Long story short, there's no way to do it natively.
    There are some apps that supposedly do it.
    All paid.

    You don't.
    Law to require camera phones to go click | ZDNet
    Its the law in Japan that all cell phones make a sound when taking a pictures.
    You can use your imagination to figure out what kind of pictures
    men were taking while standing next to young girls on a subway.
    <sigh>

    PS- a perfectly reasonable question.
    A ridiculous reason but there you are.

    That article is from 4 years ago and it talks about a law that might get passed. I wouldn't cite that as the reason why BlackBerry saddles us with that stupid sound. Many manufacturers give the option to turn it off. I don't think it has anything to do with legality. There's a much better quote from some higher up at BlackBerry saying something along the lines of he couldn't imagine why someone would want it off. Bottom line, this issue has been beaten to death. I'm not one to do this, but seriously a simple search would have given you your answer.

    They should leave it up to the user to turn on or off the shutter.

    Another one???? You mean the latest one got shut down too??

    This has been a highly contentious debate that has been waging in the forums for some time now. Threads have been shut down on this topic more often than any other on here, I believe. They just get so heated and filled with slings and arrows and nastiness, that mods shut them down.
    It's best to just leave it at...can't be turned off (yet) but at least since 10.1 it's quieter.

    If you posted this thread as a display of ill-placed wit: bad form! Repeated threads make for a messy forum.
    May I direct you to the latest open (tentatively) thread on this issue? Enjoy!

    Have you tried searching Appworld? There are apps to silence it available. Type "shutter" in and hit search.
