![]() We'll see here bundleid and then after that is the actual bundle ID. Then we're going to do Command F to find and search for Bundle ID and Return. Then we're going to go to the Downloads folder and you'll find it there. Then we're going to go to the URL, iTunes at /lookup? iV= and that number. So in this case this is the app's number in The App Store. Go to that and then look for the number after the letters I V. So go in your browser, I'm going to do it on the Mac here, and search for the name of the app and maybe put App Store and Apple after it. It takes a bunch of steps but you can get it once you have that Bundle ID. It's the actual, what's called, Bundle ID for that app. Because the actual path to these uses the Identifier for the App which is hidden from us. It would be great to be able to go directly to one of those and you can. All the different apps you may have installed. In the Settings App there are a lot of settings for specific apps. So now we can get there with just one tap, turn On or Off. It's in the phone settings in the Path SILENCE underscore CALLS. Now remember the Silence Call screen I talked about earlier. That's a sunscreen of the regular battery screen in Settings. So if you often go here to edit your text replacements and add new ones now you have a shortcut to do it right there on the Home Screen. ![]() So this will take us into General, into Keyboard, and into the User Dictionary Subsection, which is also known as Text Replacement. Then slash and then down a level even deeper than that. So one path is is Keyboard with a capital K. Sometimes you need to go down even more levels than this. Now when we use that shortcut it goes directly to Software Update. ![]() We'll click Done and we'll return to the Home Screen. The code name for that is in all caps SOFTWARE underscore UPDATE underscore LINK. So you have a quick way to check for software updates. So as an example let's go to the Software Update Screen. Put equals and then we need to know the actual code name for this subsection. Then you need to use the ampersand and then the word path to dig deeper into General Settings. Instead of going to Bluetooth let's go to General and that's just General as you would expect. Now what about digging deeper into Settings. Now if I just tap this it goes directly to Bluetooth Settings. Now you can see I've added it to my Home Screen. So I'm going to click Add to Home Screen and you could see it's called Settings Direct and it has that icon. I'm going to click here to attach the Home Screen. You could see here you could even use Hey Siri to activate this. You could set the icon and color here as well. You might want to call it Bluetooth Settings. So in here I'll just call it Settings Direct as an example. For instance to get to the Bluetooth settings it's simply just Bluetooth. So you can either guess or you can look it up in a list and I'll show you a list later. So you have to know what the actual code name is for that. But it's not the name that appears in the Settings app. Now here you will put the name of the preferences section. Then you need to use a colon and then root and then=. So you have to start these special URL's with Prefs. Well, it turns out that if you put just the right URL in there it will actually do exactly that. So what does opening an URL in Safari have to do with getting to a specific screen in the Settings app. ![]() I'm going to go to Apps and then I'm going to go down to Safari and then in Safari I'm going to open URL. The action I'm going to add is kind of counterintuitive. Let's go into Shortcuts and then I'm going to create a new shortcut, like that, and I'm going to add an Action. But you need to know some hidden codes in order to do so. Well, you can do that using the Shortcuts App. It would be great if there was a way to just tap a button here and go directly to that setting. You could go into Settings, then you have to scroll all the way down and find Phone and then you have to go to Silence Unknown Callers, go inside there and there's the switch to turn it On or Off. For instance say you want to switch On and Off to silence unknown callers. So on your iPhone sometimes the settings that you often want to get to are very deep down and you have to remember where they are and then take several steps to get there.
