Unpair a device. In Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the device, then tap “Forget this Device.”
If you don’t see the Devices list, make sure Bluetooth is on.

Restrictions

You can set restrictions for some apps, and for purchased content. For example, parents can
restrict explicit music from appearing in playlists, or disallow changes to certain settings. Use
restrictions to prevent the use of certain apps, the installation of new apps, or changes to
accounts or the volume limit.
Turn on restrictions. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions. You’ll
be asked to define a restrictions passcode that’s necessary in order to change the settings you
make. This can be different than the passcode for unlocking iPod touch.

Important:

If you forget your restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software.

Privacy

Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.

Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Camera, and Passbook gather and
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the status bar.
Turn Location Services on or off. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it off
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn off Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.
Turn Location Services off for system services. Several system services, such as location-based
ads, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or off, or show in the menu
bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services >
System Services.
Turn off access to private information. Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps and
features have requested and been granted access to the following information:

Contacts

Calendars

Reminders

Photos

Bluetooth Sharing

Microphone

Camera

Health

HomeKit
