Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard
You can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately) to enter text on your iPod touch.
The keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must first pair it with iPod touch.
Note: The Apple Wireless Keyboard may not support keyboard features that are on your device.
For example, it doesn’t anticipate your next word or automatically correct misspelled words.
Pair an Apple Wireless Keyboard with iPod touch. Turn on the keyboard, go to Settings >
Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth, then tap the keyboard when it appears in the Devices list.
Once it’s paired, the keyboard reconnects to iPod touch whenever it’s in range—up to about 33
feet (10 meters). When it’s connected, the onscreen keyboard doesn’t appear.
Save your batteries. Turn off Bluetooth and the wireless keyboard when not in use. You can turn
off Bluetooth in Control Center. To turn off the keyboard, hold down the On/off switch until the
green light goes off.
Unpair a wireless keyboard. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the keyboard name, then
tap “Forget this Device.”
See Bluetooth devices on page 36.
Add or change keyboards
You can turn typing features, such as spell checking, on or off; add keyboards for writing in
different languages; and change the layout of your onscreen keyboard or Apple Wireless
Keyboard.
Set typing features. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard.
Add a keyboard for another language. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add
New Keyboard.
Switch keyboards. If you haven’t added any keyboards, tap to switch to the emoji keyboard.
If you have several keyboards, tap to switch to the last one you used. Continue tapping to
access other enabled keyboards, or touch and hold , then slide to choose a different keyboard.
For information about international keyboards, see Use international keyboards on page 146.
Change the keyboard layout. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards, select a
keyboard, then choose a layout.
Dictate
If you like, you can dictate instead of typing on iPod touch. Make sure Enable Dictation is turned
on (in Settings > General > Keyboard) and iPod touch is connected to the Internet.
Note: Dictation may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary.
