Portal mobile app cast photos from specific WhatsApp contact
I have a feature request for Portal mobile app. Currently it has Casting but it is only able to cast photos by how your phone presents the photos. Usually WhatsApp images from various contacts are all mixed together under one folder. This is not optimal.
I wish I could cast photos only from specific WhatsApp contact. Currently WhatsApp allows browsing media only from specific contact from within WhatsApp. But Portal app shows whole WhatsApp folders with all received images mixed together.

Rechargeable battery capability
Would be ideal if Portal Mini had rechargeable battery built in so that unit could be easily moved to different locations. Often in kitchen during day but would be handy to move to living room in the evening. Quite restrictive having the cable plugged in. You would be able to unplug and move with or without cable without losing call.

Support Zoom
Googled “Facebook Portal for Zoom meetings” and from the Zoom website it says that Facebook Portal supports Zoom. Wired Magazine also says Portal supports Zoom. Someone from Portal better call them and tell them it aint true.

Publish screen resolution
I'd like to create an album just for my Portal devices, but the screen resolutions aren't published anywhere, making it difficult to create photos that are exactly the right dimensions to be displayed on Portal without cropping or scaling.

Remove time limit
It appears that Portal calls are limited to 6 hours, whereas messenger calls appear to be unlimited. Ideally Portal calls can also run indefinitely (at least give me the option). My long distance partner and I love to fall asleep together on a messenger call, but when we use Portal, we aren't able to wake up together since Portal automatically disconnects the call when it reaches 6 hours.

Improve face detection
Portal currently thinks grid/lattice patterns are faces and zooms in (100% zoom) on them, even to the point of ignoring actual faces. This happens to me when I'm lying in bed as my pillowcase has a lattice pattern. I usually have to disable the automatic tracking since Portal constantly zooms in on my pillow.

Universal home gesture
A UI gesture that does the same thing as "Hey Portal, go home" would be great. Sometimes Alexa gets stuck on the screen and can't be dismissed, even using voice commands. The only way to get back to home in that instance is rebooting the device. It'd be great if I could simply swipe from the left to go home (similarly to Nest Hub).

Rooms I create in Messenger should be joinable from Portal and vice versa
Currently, Rooms I have created in messenger are not joinable from my Portal. Rooms I create in Portal are don't persist after all participants have left. Ideally, the rooms experience would be consistent across both messenger and Portal.

Allow calls to seamlessly transition from Portal to another device and back again
I'd like to be able to join a call from my Portal then switch the call to my phone and vice versa. This way I don't have to hang up and call again. This works great between other messenger devices, but not on Portal. However, the call waiting feature of portal is wonderful and should not be sacrificed to enable this! Portal is the only facebook messenger device that allows another caller to call the user (ringing both on phones and portals) while another call is active, which is absolutely wonderful.

Bug: calls remaining connected even after dropped on one end
On my Portal Mini, a call remained connected where my video and audio were still transmitting, but on the other end, the call was disconnected. The other person's picture was displayed, but no audio or video. On the other person's end, the call simply dropped. When she attempted to call me back, she got the message "Nate is on another call."
I ran into a similar issue with Messenger, where a call was not connected on my phone, but the recipient was actually connected. The recipient could see and hear me, but I couldn't see or hear them and there…

Show call rejection and disconnection reason like Messenger
When a call doesn't connect, "did not answer" is the only thing displayed. On Messenger, when a call doesn't connect, "[name] is on another call," "[name] did not answer," and "couldn't connect" are all possible reasons for a call not connecting that are displayed to the user. This allows the caller to know whether the recipient actively rejected a call or simply is offline. That's useful to know whether it's polite for the caller to call again later after the call doesn't go through or whether the caller should just wait to be called back.

On devices that don't support wifi 6, don't display wifi 6 networks as options to connect
The current generation of Portal devices doesn't support wifi 6 (at least, not with the current firmware). However, when scanning wifi networks to connect to, Portal still lists wifi 6 networks and allows the user to type a password and attempt to connect. Then, the connection fails with a generic message. This is confusing for users who simply set up a current generation router with default settings, since it's unclear why Portal can't connect. Ideally, Portal would either hide wifi 6 networks from the network list or otherwise indicate the reason for the connection failure so the user knows what…
