Since the early days of Smartphone, sharing media with friends and family has become a regular thing. Sometimes you may want to share videos without audio for various reasons, such as privacy concerns, background noise or other reason. If that’s the case, you can follow this guide to remove sound from iPhone videos.
iPhone runs on iOS, which has an advanced UI that can make some controls less intuitive. While experienced users find it easy to navigate, new users often find it difficult in executing some tasks in the beginning. However, users quickly get used to the interface. Similarly, removing audio from a video on an iPhone is easy, but you may need guidance on the first attempt.
There are various ways to remove audio from videos on iPhone, including a stock option that doesn’t require any third-party apps. You can also remove audio directly from the Photos app. If you’re not familiar with the process, don’t worry; I’ll explain it here.
Remove sound from iPhone video using Photos app
I assume the video from which you want to remove the audio is already available on your iPhone. If not, copy the video to your iPhone.
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
- Look for the video with audio that you want to remove.
- Open the Video and tap on the Edit option available as text on top or as three bar icon on the bottom.
- Now you will see a sound icon on top left, tap on it, and the icon will change to mute.
- Next, tap on Done to save the video without audio.
This is an official way to remove sound from a video without installing any third-party app. You can enable the audio in the same way whenever you want.
Remove sound from a video on iPhone while sending
If you want to mute video on iPhone for the purpose of sending it to someone, you may not even need to edit the video as most social media platforms allow you to mute video within the app. Here, I’ll am taking WhatsApp as an example to show you how to send video without sound on iPhone.
- Open the personal or group chat where you want to send video.
- Tap on the Media icon and choose the video you want to send.
- After selecting the video, tap Next, and you will see the preview screen.
- Now tap on the sound icon which will turn to mute icon.
- You can now send the video which will not include audio.
This is also an easy method, similar to the first one, as you don’t need to edit the video yourself or install any third-party app. If the social media app you’re using doesn’t offer the option to mute video, you can follow other methods.
Remove audio from an iPhone video using third-party apps
If you want advanced controls along with the ability to remove sound, third-party apps are the way to go. Various apps lets you increase/decrease volume, remove background noise, clip an audio part, and other modifications. If you’re looking for extra modifications, you can use any good third-party app. For instance, I’ll use Splice as an example, but you can choose any app you like and trust.
- Open the editing app that you have installed on your phone.
- Tap on Add/Edit and then choose the video you want to edit.
- You will see a detailed editing screen, where you need to tap the Volume or Sound icon.
- Now you can mute the sound or also decrease its volume depending on the need.
- Some tool will let you erase only the background noise.
- Once you have applied all the required modifications, export the video.
- That’s it! You can now share the video you have exported.
There are also options to remove audio using online tools. But if you’re concerned about privacy, you should avoid using these tools as they require you to upload the video first. While some online tools may be safe to use, you’ll always have doubts in the back of your mind.
