Push live WhatsApp calls to Portal
Be able to start a call on WhatsApp via a mobile device that is connected to the portal and is currently on the same WiFi network. Then be able to push that call to the portal screen of your choice (if you have more than 1 in the house) so you can continue the call but have your hands free to do things.
Also be able to do it the other way round, i.e. make a WhatsApp call on the portal and push the call to the mobile device so people can leave the house and still be on a…

Add the ability to have a WhatsApp account without the need for a phone.
I've just purchased Portal for an elderly friend who doesn't even have a smartphone. One huge drawback in getting her connected to her (also elderly) friends is that Portal is dependent on a phone (albeit) connected via wifi only to be near to the device in order for WhatsApp to work. I think that for Portal to work best for older people, especially those that don't have a smartphone or do have one but aren't very familiar with it, it should be possible to get a WhatsApp account that is phone independent.

Enable Talk Function Through Ring Doorbell
I can view the front door camera through the Ring Doorbell using Alexa, but there is no way to activate the mic to talk through the device. This is a major drawback for people wanting to monitor people at the front door using Portal. I was lead to believe the Portal had that functionality after viewing the picture on your website showing the front door view with a "mic on" icon in lower left corner https://portal.facebook.com/features/.

Be able to add additional stories to the portal
Would love to have more and new stories as I am using portal to teach preschool with my grandson who lives across the country from me during the "stay home" period. We do this Monday thru Friday. He loved portal "books"! My library is closed and purchasing books is difficult. I really appreciate my portal!

Support for Audible Book Titles
If I ask Alexa on Portal to read one of my Audible book titles, she will find the title, and display the book on screen, but won't play it unless I press the 'play' button on screen. Portal support has said that Portal does not support Audible at this time. What would it take to make this work?

Story time
I’d prefer the story’s to be the traditional versions. Also the bells and whistles that accompany the stories are not needed and distracting. It would be nice to have options on the extras you want. Like the music, I’d want to turn that off during a story.

Access with a Business Page
We should be able to LogIn/set up portal using a business page. We would like to have this in a lobby space of our business, but do not want to have it tied to our personal information - or have a personal page connected where the general public may be able to access the information

Make portal more accessible to non Facebook users
Make Portal more accessible as a global video calling solution. Create video calling numbers making portal a video calling solution for those who choose not to have Facebook account. It would be good for senior citizens like my dad who will never navigate through Facebook easily just dial a number like he would on his phone but will be able to make video calls for free. Currently had to set him up with an account and need to add contacts. Which is a pain. For myself I may want to make a video call tto someone but not necessarily have…

Only able to use my airpods pro for messenger calls at the moment. Doesn't work with workplace. Support said that it should work for spotify but I have not been able to get that to work too. When connected to my airpods pro, music still comes out from the portal's speakers.

It would be great to be able to invite someone onto the live with you like you can when you are on FB
When you go onto Facebook live on portal you’d be able to invite someone onto the “screen” live with you like you can when you do a live on Facebook using other devices.
