Why seniors love it
Seniors who want hands-free video calls with family without navigating a smartphone
Worth knowing
A Meta (Facebook) account is required to use Portal Plus. If the senior does not have or want a Facebook account, the device cannot be used. Meta collects data through Portal for advertising purposes — review the privacy settings and disable the camera and microphone when not in active use. WhatsApp calling does not require a Facebook account and is available as an alternative calling method.
