If your iPhone (with iOS 8) is signed into iMessage using the same Apple ID as your iPod touch,
you can also send and receive SMS and MMS messages on your iPod touch. Charges may apply
to the text messaging service for your iPhone.
Instant Hotspot
You can use Instant Hotspot on your iPhone (with iOS 8) or iPad (cellular models with iOS 8) to
provide Internet access to your other iOS devices and Mac computers that are signed into iCloud
using the same Apple ID. Instant Hotspot uses your iPhone or iPad Personal Hotspot, without you
having to enter a password or even turn on Personal Hotspot.
Use Instant Hotspot. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iPod touch, then simply choose your iPhone
or iPad network under Personal Hotspots. On your Mac, choose your iPhone or iPad network
from your Wi-Fi settings.
When you’re not using using the hotspot, your devices disconnect to save battery life.
Note:This feature may not be available with all carriers. Additional fees may apply. Contact your
carrier for more information.
Customize iPodtouch
Arrange your apps
Arrange apps. Touch and hold any app on the Home screen until it jiggles, then drag apps
around. Drag an app to the edge of the screen to move it to a dierent Home screen, or to the
Dock at the bottom of the screen. Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
Create a new Home screen. While arranging apps, drag an app to the right edge of the last
Home screen. The dots above the Dock show how many Home screens you have, and which one
you’re viewing.
You can also customize the Home screen using iTunes when iPod touch is connected to your
computer. In iTunes, select iPod touch, then click Apps.
Start over. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout to return the
Home screen and apps to their original layout. Folders are removed and the original wallpaper
is restored.
