  1. Update Portal from Settings

    Would love to be able to update the system software from the settings instead of waiting for it to rollout gradually. I have two portals. One has updated to 1.0.7 but the other is still sitting at 1.0.5, 3 days after official release. Support says it could take a few days up to a few weeks for the device to update so we’ll see what happens. Not a super ideal update process though.

  3. Transfer feature

    The only reason I bought the Portal was for the transfer feature. I was able to communicate with my daughter who lives in another state. Then one day it was gone. I spend months on the phone with tech support telling me it was a technical issue that was being worked on. Now I got an email saying that they are doing away with the feature. I bought my portal through Amazon so I can no longer return because I spent so many months waiting for the repair. The portal is useless to me now and I feel ripped off!…

  4. allow the ability to disable hidden youtube app

    I did not install the YouTube app, I have uninstalled the browser app, but my children can still youtube stream to a youtube app that is not listed and facebook denies it is there, but clearly asking for someone to sign in and pair the app...even has a splash screen on launch when someone start to stream to it.

  6. Volume control for incoming calls.

    Volume control for incoming calls on Portal. At present there is a nice recognizable ring tone on the device when I am making outgoing calls. But incoming calls are a dull beep sound that is hard to detect with other activities within the household.

  10. Allow the portal to activate by using another name besides “Hey Portal”. My mother is 90 and isn’t familiar with the term portal.

    Allow portal to activate by using another name besides “Hey Portal.” The term Portal is unfamiliar to my 90 year old mother. If she could say a normal name that she’s familiar with it would be helpful.

  11. Remove rate call screen

    After every call, the next screen is “Rate the quality of the call”. For an elderly person that is not familiar with using a touchscreen, it is very confusing. I don’t know why the quality of the call needs to be rated every single time. Please remove. I was hoping to use the Portal to call my 88 year old mother 2000 miles away. Not sure it is going to work. The following screen is to set up a reminder to make the same call. Annoying also.

    As always, thanks so much to everyone who voted for this idea! As part of a recent software update, the ability to move the self-view window during a call has been added to Portal, Potal+, and Portal Mini devices. Simply touch your self-view and drag it to another corner of the screen! As this functionality is not available on Portal TV at this time, we will be marking this idea as started. Thanks and enjoy!

  13. Let it record your conversation so you can watch later.

    I teach and speak to small groups. I NEED it to be able to record the conversation so I can watch afterwards or share with others! Is there a possibility of that coming? People would LOVE it!

  15. Allow Alexa's Fios skill

    Generally speaking, as many others have already requests, Portal's Alexa should be fuller-featured and not "Alexa Lite". But specifically it should support Alexa's Verizon FiOS skill. Seems redundant to have to put an Echo Dot right next to my Portal so I can get at all of Alexa's offering....

  16. Bu

    There is a bug in multi user calling for eg

    A calls B the A wants to add another call to C
    During call connection to C if A disconnects from the call .. system starts the call with each other B &C which is a flaw as the call initiator A has already disconnected

  20. The keyboard should have a talk to text option

    There are many times you use the keyboard on the portal, you should make it easier for the person using it and have a talk to text option.
