I would love to see remote access app or link on a cloud account so that settings can be tweaked or adjusted remotely for a specific administrator.

The companion app is as secure as one's fb password and I do realize the portal is pretty secure because it does not have this in one way.

I set up the accounts and the portal and so do have access to all that info, but do not always have access to the actual portal itself.

This might actually mean a specific portal database which would likely add to the costs, but it might be worth the cost. The Portal has got to be one of the cheapest devices (well, with the Xmas special) on the market. I'm grateful.

I glitched on my setup of What's app, and will need to get to the Portal to fix that (check the notifications box), but I'm actually liking the simplicity of it which is a huge plus. I didn't put any of the extra apps on it on purpose so there were not so many icons on the screen. I thought I would add them on slowly when she was comfortable with the video calling piece.

At some point, I want to activate Spotify as well. I didn't so that if buttons got pushed accidentally, nothing would be impacted. One step at a time. A remote admin account would mean that could be set up from a distance. I'm not sure how to do that so it's secure, but I can access my mobile account with a pin number and a code sent to me. Maybe something like that.

I bought the mini for my parent, and so far, it's working well. TY
