Title: Facebook Portal

Anyone any experience of these particularly with an elderly relative.?

I want something reasonably fool proof. Easier to use than say Skype on a Win10 PC.

That won't work, unless you have an iPhone with it installed.

That's a fair point.

A large screen android phone could be the answer, but if using skype or zoom etc on a computer is difficult, then perhaps video calling isn't the solution  :-\

The *only* reason to sign up to Facebook is to give away all your details and *everything* to post (private or public) to anyone who wants it.

I would not subject potentially unaware elderly relatives to anything related to facebook.  Well, not the ones I like.
