Who you can call or receive calls from on your Meta Portal

Making calls on Meta Portal

On Meta Portal you can call the Facebook friends, Messenger connections and WhatsApp contacts of any accounts linked to your Meta Portal. While Meta Portal is only sold in select countries, you can use your Meta Portal to call friends located in any country where the Messenger app or WhatsApp are supported.

Receiving calls on Meta Portal

Currently, Meta Portal calls can only be received from other Meta Portal devices, from WhatsApp on mobile devices, from the Messenger app on mobile devices or tablets, from messenger.com or from facebook.com. Meta Portal can’t be called from Messenger Kids accounts or the Messenger Lite app.

Your Meta Portal contacts

Your Meta Portal contacts are the Facebook friends, Messenger connections and WhatsApp contacts of all accounts linked to your Meta Portal. If you share a Meta Portal with others, all accounts that have been linked to your Meta Portal will share contacts on Meta Portal. Anyone who shares your Meta Portal will have access to the contacts on the device and will be able to make and answer calls.

Viewing your Meta Portal contacts

From Home on your Meta Portal, tap Contacts. From there, you can browse by Suggested contacts, Recents contacts or contacts by account type.
