Yes, this is the usual behaviour of many Smartphone camera apps when
they try to "guess" how to improve the image quality and make every
scene bright and clear. You may manually edit the picture with tools
like Paint.NET or darktable to adjust the overall brightness or gamma
curve to make it look more natural.

Otherwise you may try apps like "Open Camera" which allow much more
customization for taking pictures and also provides taking images in RAW
format if supported by the phone, so you can develop the final image
using darktable or similar programs:
