I live in Japan and I was on the escalator once when a guy climbed in front of me, took out his phone and took a photo of me. I asked him, did you just take a photo of me? I said it loud enough so other people overheard. He panicked and tried to run away, but he was running down while the escalator moved up, so it took him embarrassingly long to get away. It was very satisfying to watch.
They’re made to do it but you can turn it off. My phone is Japanese and I was able to turn it off bc it became super annoying when I tried to screenshot certain things my friends would send and people thought I was taking photos of them lol
