1. With Google Photos

Most Android phones these days have Google Photos preinstalled, which makes this the most convenient solution at your disposal. If you can’t find the app on your device, you can always get it from the Google Play Store. If you have the auto backup feature enabled in Photos, all the videos you’ve shot will be automatically uploaded to the app. If you don’t, or if you received the video you want to mute from someone else, you’ll need to upload it to Google Photos first. Tip: Samsung devices come with a host of special features. One of these is Quick Share. Learn how you can use it.

If you have a Samsung phone, you can easily mute your video directly from its proprietary app.

3. Using a Third-Party App

You can also opt to download and install a third-party app on your Android phone with the option to mute sound. This solution could be the right choice if you’re looking to do more in-depth editing on your video. Downloading a dedicated video editing app will be beneficial due to all the extra features involved. Follow the steps below to remove sound from your video with one of the aforementioned apps, InShot. This isn’t your only choice, of course, as you can perform this with other apps, including:

Detailed below is how to create a soundless Reel from a video that originally had an audio background. Similarly on WhatsApp, you can edit a video you’ve shared with someone and can remove its sound.
