Archive

The archive groups materials by year of preparation and by topic. We include only pages of the reference that have actually been published, with no placeholders or empty promises. Filter the list by tag to see, for example, only materials about safety or only about the smartphone. The date on each entry is the date the material was prepared. If a material is later updated substantially, a separate entry will appear in the feed of new articles. The archive is handy when you remember reading something about video calls or calls "from the bank" but cannot recall which section it was in: just choose the topic tag. You can send a link to any entry to your children, grandchildren or friends — each page opens on its own and needs no registration. We do not collect other people's articles, news or summaries in the archive: only the reference's own materials, written in plain language for people who have recently started using a smartphone and for those who help them. The tags in the archive are the same as in the feed of new articles: smartphone, keeping in touch, money, safety and family.

The archive is an honest list of what exists. Pages that do not exist are not in it, and the domain's former, unrelated content does not appear here.

— From the editors

Selection principle: each entry is an existing page of the reference; the date is the date the material was prepared; the tag is its main topic. Materials still in preparation do not enter the archive until they are published.

Old addresses on this domain

The former content of this domain had nothing to do with the current reference. We do not restore it, retell it or carry it over, and the old addresses are not part of the reference. If you arrived through an old link, start with the home page or the topic map. Everything the reference currently offers is there: smartphone settings, video calls with family, money and documents, protection from scammers.

    Information is current as of the preparation date. Smartphone menus and settings change with system updates, so the names of options on your device may differ. Look for exact steps in your phone manufacturer's guide, and for the rules of your bank and the Gosuslugi portal on their official websites.
