How to Quickly Open a Settings Page Using Shortcuts on iPhone and iPad

It's always been tedious to open a specific page of the Settings app on the iPhone and iPad. It doesn't help that the search feature isn't particularly fast. Here's how you can quickly open a Settings page using Shortcuts on your iPhone and iPad.

MacStories has compiled a list of more than 120 hidden URLs that correspond to a particular page in the Settings app. You can use the Shortcuts app's Open URLs action to quickly open a Settings page.

Once you create a shortcut, add it to your home screen and then tap it to open the Settings page. This way, for example, you can directly open the Screen Time section without fussing around in the Settings app.

For the uninitiated, Shortcuts is Apple's own automation app for iPhone and iPad that comes built-in on devices running iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 (and higher). You can use it to create simple or complex automations that can be triggered using Home screen shortcuts or Siri.

In this example, we'll be creating a home screen shortcut for launching the Screen Time Settings page. You can use this process to create a shortcut for any Settings page.

First, open the list of Settings URLs on your iPhone or iPad. Browse through the list, and when you find the "Screen Time" section, copy the URL portion.

Your shortcut is now active. Let's add it to the home screen.

From the shortcuts details page, tap the three-dot menu button in the top-right corner.

You'll now find the shortcut added to your device's home screen. Select it to instantly open the specific Settings page on your iPhone or iPad. Repeat the process for all of your frequently used Settings pages.
