Path adds new privacy features and Premium subscription in 3.2 update, announces Deutsche Telekom partnership

Path 32 adds Private Sharing and Inner Circle, introduces Premium subscriptions

One of the benefits of Path when compared to social networks like Facebook and Twitter is that it's more private than public. It's only accessible via mobile app and the service limits you to 150 friends to encourage you to add just the people you know. Yet, it's suffered a bit of privacy-related backlash due to the occasional hiccup and a private messaging feature that wasn't so private. However, the latest 3.2 version of Path might rectify that perception -- it's added two features called Private Sharing and Inner Circle that lets users have more control over who sees their content. We'll detail those along with a new Path Premium subscription model and a partnership with Deutsche Telekom after the break.%Gallery-slideshow79639%

Samsung Galaxy Gear apps include Path, Pocket, RunKeeper and more

Path on Samsung Galaxy Gear

Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch will launch with 70 native apps, and it turns out that there's quite a few heavy-hitters in that bunch. Path is available to share photos taken from the Gear's wriststrap; Pocket users, meanwhile, can have Gear read saved articles out loud. And fitness apps will definitely be in vogue -- RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal, Phigolf and others have embraced Samsung's vision. There are too many other apps to list them all, although we've noticed big-name titles like Snapchat in the mix. If you're planning to pick up Samsung's wristwear in the next few weeks, there won't be any shortage of things to do with it.

Path expands API access, now supports WordPress and other hand-picked apps

Path expands API access, now supports Wordpress and other handpicked apps

Path has previously limited its third-party app integration to the Nike+ platform, but the company just opened its doors a little wider. App developers can now ask for permission to use Path's sharing API, which they'll get if Path sees such apps as a logical fit. To get the ball rolling, the social network has already granted access to 13 partners that include WordPress, Strava Cycling and a bevy of smaller image services. Only some of these developers can send app content to Path as of this writing, but the rest should support the API in the weeks ahead.

Path comes to Kindle Fire HD, proves stickers are inflammable

DNP Path comes to Kindle Fire, proves stickers are inflammable

Life-sharing service Path has had a rollercoaster of a year. When it wasn't spamming its' userbase's contacts, it was uploading their personal information without consent. That doesn't seem to be slowing down its rate of expansion, though -- there aren't many mobile ecosystems where you can't find the stylized P. Starting today, we can add another platform to that burgeoning list, as the app is out on Kindle Fire HD. Now that it's available on the 7-inch, 8.9-inch WiFi and 8.9-inch 4G tablets, everyone with the shopping giant's other hardware foray can slap stickers wherever they may be.

Path’s Windows Phone beta app on the Lumia 1020 hands-on (video)

Posted on by

Today's 41 Million Reasons event was all about the hardware -- and, to a lesser extent, proprietary software -- so it's no surprise that third-party app developers weren't exactly front and center. Nokia did give them a little more time after the show, however, with tables stationed around Lumia 1020 demos. We used the opportunity to take a gander at a beta version of Path's forthcoming Windows Phone app, which the company was, naturally, showing off on Nokia's hot new offering. And there's no question why, really, as this version takes plenty of advantage of the Lumia's photo focus.

The app also takes some visual cues from Microsoft's mobile operating system. On the phone's homescreen, Path's tile offers a number, cluing you in to how many new posts you've got. Fire it up, and you'll get your feed, as with Android and iOS, including photos, videos, check-ins and the like. Swipe to the right and the app uses the Windows Pivot navigation to take you to tiles with pending friend requests and your existing friends. As for Nokia exclusives, the company's early access to handset maker's imaging SDK brings 50 additional filters for pictures.

The app is scheduled for the "coming months". In the meantime, you can check out a video demo below.

Path partners with Nokia to bring app to Lumia 1020, ‘all Windows Phones’

Path partners with Nokia to bring app to Lumia 1020

After months of anticipation, Path is finally bringing its social network to the Windows Phone, and it's starting with the Nokia Lumia 1020. The app, which is still in the works and hasn't been assigned a launch date, will take advantage of the company's new imaging SDK and its plethora of photo filters. Although the main focus of Path's announcement was centered on the new Lumia, it also mentioned that the app will indeed come to "all Windows Phones." No word on if the launch will occur across the board at the same time (nor if this includes Windows Phone 7.5 or only affects WP8 users) or if it will be featured only on the 1020 at first, but we'll update you as soon as we know. In the meantime, there's a press release for you to digest below the break.

Path 3.1 brings stickers to comments, uses QR codes for adding friends

Posted on by

DNP Path update stickers comments

Stickers, stickers everywhere -- that's what'll happen once everyone on your Path friends list updates their app. The newest version for iOS and Android takes cartoony stickers out of private messaging and lets you use them on the comments section of your feed. Additionally, folks on the go can now easily add friends using QR codes the app generates -- new pals need only scan it to approve the request. If that leads to a barrage of new contacts, version 3.1's improved friends list and better landscape and profile navigation on the iPad will help you sort things out. Considering the social network credits stickers as one of the reasons why it's seen significant growth recently, we imagine Path's comments will be populated with smileys and furry creatures in no time.
