Helloo, so I want to create a shortcut which brings me to the Whatsapp preferences in the settings App. For that, I need the Bundle ID which i found out to be “net.whatsapp.Whatsapp” via Method 1 of this guide. I created a “Open Url” shortcut using the “Settings For App” URL of this list, and this is the result: prefs:root=net.whatsapp.Whatsapp But it doesn’t work, it just sends me to the settings App wherever I left it. Anybody know what I’m doing wrong?:O

This works for me, add it to the Control Centre and select it when the app is frontmost, it will open the settings for you. I didn’t write this, and I’m not sure who the author is.
