All my FB Portal functions (scrolling, volume, etc), are not working properly. I am also hearing commands such as, ("typed screen twice to open page", "your Portal commands are "Alexa" and not "Portal" now, etc.) Can you please, please assist me? I love my device and want to continue to use it. Thank you for reading my text. Joyce

My portal has started random talking. Such as saying something about my ambient screen, or announcing the time when I haven’t asked. Also when I say “Alexa”, it’ll say something random before I’m finished asking it to do something. Can you help. Thanks

I am also having the issue where story time won't load and where you can no longer do cute filters in photo booth. My 3 year old (and I) are very frustrated, and I reached out to facebook customer service and they didn't know how to fix it either!

Amanda Rodriguez 2022-07-17

We can see the list of games and stories on Portal but neither will open up to use. We reset the portal back to factory settings and that did not fix the issues.

My Portal Go is not working well....has never really worked well! Story Time: some stories won't open at all (just show choices of End or New Story), sometimes they just quit in the middle. There used to be some cute filters, but now they are gone. There was a cute donut game, now gone. Very frustrating when talking to 2 year old granddaughter, which is the reason I bought it!

A
Amy B. Robinson 2022-06-03

My story time on my portal no longer works so I cannot go past the first page. When I try to swipe text to get to p.2 it doesn’t give me p. 2 but just the choices End or New Story
