Zoom app should remember camera control setting
Zoom app is great and has adjustable settings such as a choice of camera control mode - it defaults to a mode which zooms in on the speaker but you can change it to group mode (more like other portal calls) or manual. It’s a pain to have to adjust this setting in call for every call - please can the app remember settings from previous call?

Add contacts to WhatsApp from Portal
I am trying to setup a Facebook Portal for my aunt who is in an assisted living facility with mild dementia. I was able to create the WhatsApp account on my personal mobile phone, using a Google voice phone number. However, once I transfer the account to the Portal, I am unable to add new contacts.
How are people setting up a Portal, using only WhatsApp (for calls only) when someone does not have a mobile phone from which to pull contacts? It would be so much easier to setup a Portal for a distant friend or relative, if you…

Allow a user to mark one of their facebook friends as a trusted contact.
When the trusted contact calls, the portal auto answers the call. This is useful as I have an elderly parent that can't physically manipulate the screen or consistently remember the voice commands to answer.

Drop in/Auto call for dad with disability
I bought the portal+ device for my father who recently had a stroke. Was dismayed to learn that the only way to answer is to say "Hey Portal, Answer" or to touch the screen. The stroke has impeded my dad's speech and mobility which makes the device incredibly difficult for him to use even for a simple video call.
Please, product team for the portal. Your primary market for this product are people who need to keep in touch with their family. Auto answer is absolutely a must have feature. Unfortunately, I'll have to return the device and purchase an…

Specific Games instead of Gaming App
The Gaming App includes games not everyone is interested in. Add the ability to choose specific games under the Gaming App instead of forcing the user to have them all.

Screen orientation option
It would be great if there was an option in settings to set the screen orientation angle to 90/180/270. Most users on mobile devices are calling in portrait orientation so why not have a video call in the same screen orientation.
Who needs this:
Users that are placing Portal TV on monitors that have the rotation capability.1 vote -

Allow use of Portal even if one deactivates their FB account
FB states that Messenger is still of use if one deactivates their FB account. My parents paid a lot of money for all the children to have a Portal so they could video call everyone. Now that my FB account is deactivated, the Portal is of no use to me. Messenger doesn't work to allow us to communicate on it now, despite what FB claims. My parents will not use WhatsApp. They have a hard enough time learning Portal.

Spotify app: Provide Full Functionality
In the Spotify app, provide access to My Music and Recently Played music. Oddly, this functionality WAS in the app earlier this year. :(
I moved a few months ago,and my Portal was packed during the move. When I unpacked it a couple of weeks ago, I was dismayed to not be able to play my Playlist as I had done earlier this year. Please consider adding back this functionality. As it stands, the app is essentially useless.2 votes -

Problems with voice assistant recognising a name
Is there a way for the voice assistant to recognise a name that sounds the same but has a different spelling?
For example: Carole instead of Carol or Pattison instead of Patterson?

Alert and spy mode
You can set it when no one is in the house to where it will alert you if it detects motion and you can use your phone to see what the movement was/// spy mode will allow you to access to see into your house without anyone knowing you're watching can be used to check in on your kids basically like a nanny cam and then have the option to turn screen on to let your kids know they've been caught or to say hey to your animals at lunch

Have battery backup and allow photos to be loaded directly from a USB port. Neither of these features are present and seem obvious.
Described above - but cord is often pulled out and so a battery backup would be easier to restart after plug removed. I.e. there’s no memory in the Portal. Also, being able to retrieve photos via USB port would be a wonderful addition since all my photos are backed up there in case of hacking.
