I'm using swift with ios 8.3. I want to open settings app from my application. I know that using the code 

UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString)!)

will open my app settings. But I don't want to open my app settings. I just want to open the settings app and stay in the main page. If possible, navigate to "Cellular". Is there any way to acheive this?

Try this.

if let appSettings = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {
    UIApplication.shared.open(appSettings, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
}
