# isShutterSoundSuppressionSupported

A Boolean value that indicates whether the photo output supports suppressing the system shutter sound.

```
var isShutterSoundSuppressionSupported: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

In iOS, the value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, except in jurisdictions where you can’t disable the shutter sound. On all other platforms, the value is always <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

If the output supports this feature, you can supress the shutter sound when capturing a photo using the [`isShutterSoundSuppressionEnabled`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/isShutterSoundSuppressionEnabled) property of [`AVCapturePhotoSettings`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings).
