How to Mute Music from Video on iPhone and iPad using iMovie
In this tutorial, I’m going to use Apple’s highly appreciable video editing app “iMovie” as it gets the work done easily. So, ensure that you’ve already installed the app on your device. The app is available for free and requires iOS 11.4 or later.
Step #1. Launch Photos app on your iOS device.
Step #2. Now, open the video which audio you wish to mute.
Step #3. Next, Tap on Edit, tap on the tiny more button (three dots inside a circle) at the bottom.
Step #4. Up next, tap on iMovie. If you are using iMovie for the first time, the app will ask you to let it access your media library. Just tap on OK.
Note: If you there is no iMovie option, tap on More → Turn on the switch next to iMovie and hit Done to confirm.
Step #5. Check out the audio button, tap on it to mute the video sound. Make sure to tap on Done at the top right to confirm the change.
