Site languages include English, Hebrew, French, German,
Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

I found an old charger and I was able to charge / revive my
5 year old phone. Thank you to everyone that emailed me with
suggestions. I immediately did a Samsung and Whatsapp backup
to Google drive.
The charging now takes a long time and does not last long. At least I did not
lose anything and I switched my backups from weekly to daily while
I wait for my new phone. After doing more research, and with help,
I decided to order a Samsung A25.
When was the last time you backed up
your important files on your computer, tablet, smart phone?
What would happen if you lost or broke your smart phone?
Do you have a current backup of Whatsapp, your photos, videos
and contact / address phone?
Spend a few minutes doing backups to avoid big problems.
Today, I revised my backup tutorial at:
https://jr.co.il/training/backup-tutorial.htm
How to backup your Facebook, Gmail, Linkedin accounts, Whatsapp,
browser bookmarks, phone contacts, photos, videos and more...
Do not wait till it is too late. Backup Today!
I also updated my Israel Emergency and Important Phone Numbers at:
