Do you never join photos when in social gatherings and someone takes a group picture with their phone?
Unless you mean "accidentally being somewhere in the background of a stranger's photo", yes. I usually opt out of being photographed, was never forced into this.
Nope.
I don't remember the last time I was in a group taking photos. Family, years ago, but the older person taking the photo was using a digital camera, not a phone, and would maybe share via text.
No one in my family really uses Facebook, and wouldn't waste their time tagging anyone. Anyone looking at those photos would know who is who - no need to tag.
The photo would have to be tagged by someone I don't even know, like a sibling's friend's kid or something, and there's no reason for them to be viewing these photos, let alone tagging them - they likely wouldn't even be interested in the first place.
