Back in 2011 we wrote about SneakyShot, a $1.99 iPhone app that snapped four quick photos while you held the phone to your ear and pretended to talk. No flash, no click. We wrote about it to make readers aware of the trick, and that matters even more today, when every phone has an excellent silent camera. Here is how to tell if someone is taking pictures of you<\/strong> with a phone, and what you can do about it.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> Watch for a phone held at an odd angle with its back camera pointing at you, someone “on a call” who keeps turning toward you, a phone propped against a bag or cup, or a screen held low and still. If you think someone is photographing you without consent, move away, ask them directly if you feel safe, and tell staff or security, especially in private places like changing rooms where it is usually a crime.<\/p>\n
