Can you set it up in another language or just English? Also, do you have to create a folder of pictures to be display on the screen in Facebook or will it just display all you facebook pictures? I am trying to buy one for my parents in Spain, will I be able to send pictures to the device so that they can see it?
Ivan Valenzuela Hey thanks for watching and commenting! Okay so as per facebooks support page the Portal currently supports: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish with more languages to be added in the future. As for the Pictures creating a folder was just something i did for the video. You can have it display photos from your timeline, photos your tagged in, as well as photos from different albums ( they can be selected by album ) As far as I know you cant send photos, but rather tag them on Facebook and as long as they have the option for photos they are tagged in switched on it will display automatically on their portal. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Hope this information helped and please dont forget to subscribe and like this video if you found it useful!! Cheers -J
I need to see how WhatsApp works here. I have friends overseas and the best way to call is with WhatsApp but can't tell if is good cause there are no reviews about it anywhere
Can you use the other features without login into Facebook? I don't have the WhatsApp and I'm having difficulty login into my Facebook account, i deactivated it and now that I want to login it's asking me for my old email password and phone number which I never linked a number and that email is so old I don't use it.
Jayanth Kumar Hey thanks for your input, So i did call portal from my friends phone when i just opened it. I also called my Aunt on her phone to test the unit out and get a feel for it. The reason I didn’t put it in the video is because the video was getting crazy long and i wanted to get a quick introduction video out to help people know what to expect when they first get theirs. Hope you subscribed to stay tuned for future videos! Cheers -J
Jeffrey Corbin if you want to hook up to a tv then yeah you would need the Portal Tv version. I opted for the 10” because I felt it was more useful especially when not using it to video call. Thanks for the sub!
Timmy Blackwell Hey Timmy, I was told that facebook live is not currently supported by portal but might coming in an update in the future. No Promises.
Dudley DooRight I cant say, but maybe they saw something in me? I do try to make good videos and I’m learning a lot with each video. I have been receiving alot of support lately and would gladly accept your support Cheers!

Does the portal comes with a stand
can you call more than one person at a time? I see that on the commercials
Do you answer people scamming on Facebook Twitter Instagram and TH-cam. ?

How do you cut the Portal off
can this display your daily schedule?
Good review. You should have actually called a portal from your phone, to see how it works. Thanks.

Can you use it for Facebook Live?
Timmy Blackwell Hey Timmy, I was told that facebook live is not currently supported by portal but might coming in an update in the future. No Promises.
I think it would be a very useful addition to the current feature list, so I’m hoping that they do support it soon!
Can you ask Alexa to phone a person
yes
Does it always have to be plugged in to work or can it be charged to use without plugging it in?
Hello, did U ever get an ans? About does it need to B always plug N
