Path updated its Android app with video-sharing on Wednesday.

Users of the social-network app, which lets them share private updates with close friends and family, can now capture and share videos up to 30 seconds long.

The update comes a full three years after iOS users got video-sharing capabilities and more than two years after Path's Android app was released. (Path's Windows Phone 8 app is still in beta, but already has video-sharing.)

"We launched Path for Android in 2011; since then, millions of Android users have joined Path and become some of the most active and passionate members of our community," the company said in a blog post announcing the update. However, Path did not reveal why it took so long to bring the feature to its Android users.

To record a video in the app, users must hold down the camera button. They can also customize videos by adding filters.

The update is compatible with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and higher. The latest version of Path's app is available in the Google Play Store.

Path did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
