If a download is interrupted, the download resumes when there’s an Internet connection. Or, if you open iTunes on your computer, iTunes completes the download to your iTunes library (if your computer is connected to the Internet and signed in using the same Apple ID).

Changing the browse buttons

You can drag the buttons at the bottom of the screen left or right to rearrange them. When you finish, tap Done.
