As with iOS 7.0.X, iOS 7.1 still allows users to take sneaky photos using a trick with the Camera app that was discovered shortly after iOS 7′s release. It’s most likely a bug that Apple still hasn’t fixed, even with the release of iOS 7.1.
A lot of places prohibit people from taking photos and video, like at concerts or art galleries, which can be a huge bummer, especially if you wanted to share that moment with friends and family who can’t be there. There are plenty of iPhone apps out there that allow users to take photos without the camera viewfinder showing, especially on jailbroken devices, but this neat trick in iOS 7.1 makes all of these apps obsolete.
We first spotted this neat trick back in November, and it’s an easy hack that allows you to take photos with the Camera app without having the app actively open or the viewfinder even showing. Here’s how to do it.

We first spotted this neat trick back in November, and it’s an easy hack that allows you to take photos with the Camera app without having the app actively open or the viewfinder even showing. Here’s how to do it.
- Open up the Camera app and immediately after doing that, double-tap on the Home button to open up the app switcher. You should see the Camera app in the app switcher still live and the viewfinder still working.
- You can now explore your app switcher and scroll through your open apps while the Camera app is still live. You can even access the notification tray from the app switcher by swiping down from the top of the screen. This completely hides the Camera app while still keeping it open and ready to take pictures.
- To simply take a photo, press the Volume Up or Volume Down button (since the shutter button in the Camera app is hidden, obviously).
