Yes, both the glasses and phone can record.

The glasses have an AI that can scan social media, and other public data, to identify people in real time. I supposed this can be done with an app on a phone. But the glasses do this as a core function.

It's also a lot more obvious when someone is using a phone to record in public.

Agree. Less obvious with glasses... AND easier to do it 24/7. People get tired holding up a phone. Or they have to put it down to use both hands for something. With glasses, some will record everyone around them, during every moment of their waking life.

I've heard of users forgetting about their glasses when going to the bathroom.

go back to google glass, it had none of that and it was just as big of a target.

There are entire kinks around voyure footage taken unaware in public from cell phones. I think your lack of seeing people doing it a confirmation bias.
