How to Find Your IP Address on iPhone or iPad
iOS hides your Wi‑Fi IP one tap deep in Settings, while your public IP is just a browser visit away.
Find your public IP
Open Safari and visit IP Ducky. Your public IPv4 (and IPv6, if your carrier supports it) appears at the top with a copy button. This is the address apps and websites see.
Find your private Wi‑Fi IP
- Open Settings → Wi‑Fi.
- Tap the ⓘ (info) button next to your connected network.
- Under IPV4 ADDRESS, read the IP Address — that's your device's private address on that network.
On cellular data
iPhones don't show the cellular IP in Settings, and carriers often place you behind CGNAT (carrier-grade NAT), so many phones share one public IP. To see the public address your carrier presents, load IP Ducky over cellular.
A privacy note
iOS can use a Private Wi‑Fi Address (a randomized MAC) per network, and iCloud Private Relay can mask your IP in Safari. If your location looks off, that's often why — see how to hide your IP address.
