What do you mean precisely by location settings

You can access your app's settings page URL from the UIApplication.openSettingsURLString property.

Use it like this:

Button("Open Settings") {
    // Get the settings URL and open it
    if let url = URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(url)
    }
}

There is currently no way to deep link directly to your app's location settings.

iOS 16 did, however, introduce a UIApplication.openNotificationSettingsURLString property for the notifications settings section, so maybe the location settings URL is possible in the future, or through this.
