Interestingly, Facebook-owned WhatsApp applies end-to-end encryption by default to all communication, and so do other privacy-centric platforms such as Signal and Threema. When the conference window appears, click on the People button from the bottom. Grant permissions to use the camera and microphone from the browser window prompt. From the popup window, join the room as yourself (using your Facebook ID). The Messenger app, for example, offers end-to-end encryption for conversations, but it is an opt-in feature. Click on the New Room button from the top-left edge of the page. Even the facilitating platforms cannot take a peek into the conversations as they don’t have access to the decryption keys.Īs far as Facebook is concerned, the company’s take on a secure messaging experience is rather confusing. This technique involves sending messages in an encrypted form that can be decrypted at only two points - the sender’s and receiver’s devices. When it comes to mass-market messaging platforms, end-to-encryption is usually accepted as the highest standard for security. Doing that not only means you can then quickly and easily dial them in for a chat, but also means you'll get pop-up notifications when they're online so you know they're available.Facebook has provided a major security boost to all forms of communication across its Messenger platform - both text and media - but with an annoying catch in place. Of course, you're unlikely to want to place a video call to everyone on your Facebook friends list, so there's also the option to choose certain people as favourites for easy access. Once your accounts are logged in, you then get easy access to all your contacts from those services. That convenient experience continues on into the rest of the design too. We found this was joyfully easy and put us on the right foot straight away. Thankfully, you can bypass all that faff by simply visiting specific URLs on another device (laptop, phone or tablet) and inputting an authentication code. Here is a screenshot of the fake message. The message contains a link that supposedly leads to a video.

Going back to the scam, the message reads: David Video, plus a shocked face emoji. Here is how criminals can easily hack your Facebook account.

Even more so if, like us, you use a super-secure password and two-step authentication. The sender’s account (your friend’s) was hacked and their credentials have been stolen. If you have those services, you might already be dreading the thought of entering usernames and passwords on a touchscreen.

Portal works with both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp primarily, but also has support for Spotify and Amazon Alexa. You certainly won't be browsing the web on this device (though you can), as this isn't a phone or tablet replacement.

We have noticed that the screen isn't as responsive to touch as we'd like, but that's rarely an issue as you're mostly going to be controlling Portal with your voice anyway. Portal boasts an appealing 10-inch touchscreen display, which makes for nice photo viewing, but unfortunately is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. Just as we said of Portal+, after months of testing that, we wouldn't blame you for passing on it. Otherwise, for many prospective users, it's a mixed bag. If Messenger and WhatsApp is your all, then this premium video-calling experience is an ideal match. We feel that Portal is lacking some of the intelligence of other display-centric smart home assistants, and despite the privacy-first features there's still that question mark hanging over Facebook's security history. The big question is whether you'll actually want to buy.

It's packed full of camera tech and clever microphones to ensure you get a clear and capable video call experience (when connecting with another Portal anyway - so buy two and give one to your favourite friend or loved one and you'll have no excuse not to regularly see their face). The display is excellent, the speaker doubly so. Still, we were honestly surprised by how much we've enjoyed having Portal around. Sure, it has built-in Alexa too, but that's not working too well yet - and you want an Alexa device then you really should get an Amazon Echo Show. If you don't use those services, or if you don't ever video call your friends, then it's a non-product for you. This smart display is for people who often use Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp to video call friends.
