Yeah, my memory of Path is that they spammed all my contacts in the first week of having it installed and then I uninstalled it and never went near it again.

- ulfw 8y agoThat's exactly how long it stayed installed on my phone and those of my friends who I helped originally sign up for it. I don't think they ever recovered from that incident. https://www.theverge.com/2012/2/7/2782947/path-ios-app-user-information-collected-privacy https://www.theverge.com/2012/2/7/2782947/path-ios-app-user-... I can't believe they somehow trotted along for another six years. Never seen anybody use it since.
- whywhywhywhy 8y agoHard to find a mobile app these days that doesn't demand contact access, try using WhatsApp without providing it and it's a rough ride, I'm super reluctant to upload mine but that one was basically unusable without doing so. How times change.
- ulfw 8y agoThat’s very true. Though it wasn’t the contacts upload on its own so much. It was that they were uploaded in the background without permission or notification and your contacts were spammed without your permission.
