iPhonePrefsURLs

List of Settings URLs to launch "prefs:root" URLs via the Shortcuts app in iOS.

Original work done by Federico Viticci for his article on macstories.net1.

  • As the last tracked changes from the original article is dated in 2020, there will be no promise of guarantee if all URL schemes included are working.

Why make this?

Short answer, I could not find the prefs url (or URL schemas) that I wanted to use for my own Shortcuts.

Long answer, current iPhone operating system that I am using is iOS 16.0.3, and it's been a while since the original article itself has been updated.

Also, hopefully this is an easier way to keep the list updated.

Of course, there's always reddit.
