Q: How can I connect an iOS device to a wireless network without using the touchscreen
Ok so, the touchscreen on my 5th gen iPod touch(iOS 9.2.1 I think) is broken, from damage to the cable(display portion of the cable's damaged too, but it still works a bit). The display assembly's pretty much unusable, but the rest of it still works, and I wanna be able to restore it to a new device when I eventually get one(iPhone 7 please don't suck). The only problem is that right after it broke, we got a new wireless router, so it hasn't been able to connect to it and do stuff like getting texts and things like that.
Yeah it's kinda stupid, but I wanna find some way to just connect my iPod to the new wireless network, without using the touchscreen.
So I don't have a massive gap in my texts(other things too probably) between when it broke and getting a new phone or something.
Also, if I can get it to connect, would it have logged out of everything after all this time?(it's kind of been offline for like the past four months)(I really should've asked this a long time ago)(yeah it already has a massive gap from that)
And if it makes a difference, my iPod doesn't have a password on it.
Thanks
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 9.2.1
