Open App Settings API

Send the user straight to the system App-info screen from your web app to manage permissions, notifications, storage, or force-stop your Android app.

The Open App Settings API of WebViewGold sends the user straight to the system App info screen for your app. From there they can manage permissions, notifications, storage, or force-stop the app — without leaving your web app to hunt through Android Settings.

How to Use:

Trigger the screen from an HTML link or from JavaScript:

<a href="settingsapp://">Open app settings</a>
window.location.href = "settingsapp://";

Typical Use Cases:

  • The user denied a permission (camera, microphone, location, notifications) — send them straight to the system screen to re-enable it.
  • Guide the user to disable battery optimization or clear cache from the OS side.

Notes: No parameters. Any URL that starts with settingsapp:// triggers the same screen. Works on all supported Android versions.
