The following URL scheme does not work on iOS 7,

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"prefs:root=General:"]];

all url schemes to iOS settings are removed in iOS5.1 and greater versions (so urls like prefs:root=General&path=Network will no longer work)

It Is possible in ios 8 Now 

if (&UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString != NULL) {
NSURL *appSettings = [NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appSettings];
}

This URL scheme has been disabled by Apple in SDK 5.1. Its not possible without Jailbreak.

  • In iOS 5.1, the prefs: URL scheme has been removed. You can't use it anymore. If using private APIs is an option, you can try this: SBSLaunchApplicationWithIdentifier(CFSTR("com.apple.Preferences"), false); You have to link against the SpringBoardServices framework then. – Iphonenew Jun 25 '14 at 09:16

It is possible now in iOS 8

Use the following for iOS 8:

if (&UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString != NULL) {
     NSURL *appSettings = [NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appSettings];
}

To answer your question: No, this is not possible in iOS 7.

As other pointed out, the URLScheme was removed in iOS 5, and another approach were added in iOS 8.
