Imaging features have been tweaked with capability to support larger images and offer new photo editing toolbox. Finally, the social network has published a short tour of the service dubbed as Path 101 for the new registrants with the service.

Often confused with streamlined Facebook news feed and less crowded Twitter network, Path in a way offers life cataloguing and sharing it with the close friends/relatives. Registered users can post photos and messages by adding tags for people, places and other things.

A user’s Home feed on Path now shows larger images and image editing tools will offer different filters that can be added to the photos. The app also integrates a camera app shortcut key which is programmed to function by pressing one of the volume buttons.
Movies buffs and bookworms can share will now be able to share movies as well as books. Users also get access to the movie reviews and details about the actor-author from the app itself.
