By Joyce Stokes   8 months ago


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

Some of the stories do not play when selected. I read them to my granddaughters on the other side of the country and it's been great. Now it's just disappointing. Please repair this issue.

Portal has wifi connection but will not make voice calls. We are saying the right things and this facility has worked previously, but not now. We have turned it off and on again and reconnected ti wifi but still not working

By Kathleen Roberts   1 year ago


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

Says device is corrupt. Tried to chat 3 times earlier and got kicked out by my phone every time. Have tried power cycling. Have tried factory reset (was given incorrect directions or misunderstood directions earlier but found online and tried). Still have same message.

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!

By Amanda Rodriguez   1 year ago


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.

Story time or game will not play. Message says need two people but I am on a call. Story time let’s you select when you press start it crashes. Video freezes up on the caller side Why??? Grandson doesn’t understand. Portal was supposed to help us.

By Lorraine   1 year ago


Portal story time not working, most stories won’t start and the ones that do, are out of sync. Tried turning off/on. Very frustrating to little kids on the other end.

By Cheryl Gruver   1 year ago


When I try to read a story on story time I click play and it goes to new story or end and the story never plays.

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!

By Amy B. Robinson   1 year ago


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
