Open Settings allows developers and others to open hidden built-in smartphone settings. Available for Android 3.2 Honeycomb (API 13) and later versions, Open Settings tackles the problem of hidden and removed settings access on Android phones.

Some vendors make it impossible to find some or all of an Android phone's settings. Sometimes users also accidentally turn on parental features like Child Mode that block access to the main settings icon and options. Additionally, a phone might experience a glitch that prevents access. With a simple 1 MB download and on-screen instructions, an Android user can reveal the settings and bypass any attempt to keep them hidden.

It's important to keep in mind that this app does not work if a visible Android Settings shortcut already exists on the operating system.
