You can access your app's settings page URL from the UIApplication.openSettingsURLString property.

Use it like this:

Button("Open Settings") {
    // Get the settings URL and open it
    if let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url)
    }
}

There is currently no way to deep link directly to your app's location settings.

iOS 16 did, however, introduce a UIApplication.openNotificationSettingsURLString property for the notifications settings section, so maybe the location settings URL is possible in the future, or through this.

sorry to bother as I have just started to learn Swift I don't know how to take the url can you give me the full code containing the settings url

That is all the code you need. UIApplication.openSettingsURLString is a predefined string essentially provided to you by your app – you don't need to type it out yourself.
