How to Find Your IP Address on iPhone & iPad

Your iPhone has multiple IP addresses depending on how it's connected — one on Wi-Fi, a different one on mobile data, plus the public address the internet sees. Here's how to find each in seconds.

Fastest: your public IP

Open Safari and visit the whatismineip.com homepage. You'll see your public IP, carrier or ISP, and approximate location. This works on Wi-Fi and mobile data alike, and it's the address that matters for privacy, geoblocks and bans.

Your local IP on Wi-Fi

1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the ⓘ next to your connected network.
3. Scroll to the IPV4 ADDRESS section — IP Address shows your local address, e.g. 192.168.1.57, along with the subnet mask and router.

You need this local address for things like connecting apps to devices on your network or setting a DHCP reservation in your router.

On mobile data: it's different

On cellular, your carrier assigns the address — and almost certainly puts you behind carrier-grade NAT, meaning your "public" IP is shared with many other customers and changes frequently. It's also commonly IPv6, which is why your IP can look radically different off Wi-Fi. iOS doesn't show the cellular IP in Settings — a reflector site like ours is the practical way to see it.

Privacy features that change what sites see

• iCloud Private Relay (iCloud+ subscribers) — hides your real IP from sites in Safari; you'll see a relay address on IP checkers instead.
• Private Wi-Fi Address — randomises your MAC address per network. It does not change your IP, but reduces cross-network tracking.
• Limit IP Address Tracking — routes traffic to known trackers through a relay in Safari and Mail.
• A VPN app — replaces your public IP entirely, on every app, on both Wi-Fi and cellular.
