iOS hides your IP a couple of taps deep, but it's always there. Here's how to find your local IP (on your home Wi-Fi) and your public IP (what websites and apps actually see) on iPhone and iPad.

Find your local IP on iOS

1. Open Settings → Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the blue ⓘ icon next to your connected network.
3. Your IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router are all listed under IPv4.
4. Scroll down for your IPv6 address.

Find your public IP on iOS

iOS doesn't display your public IP anywhere in Settings — it's not a property of your device, it's the address your router presents to the internet. The quickest way: open Safari and visit our IP checker. It shows your public IP, ISP, and approximate location in one screen.

Why your iPhone IP can change on the same Wi-Fi

iOS uses Private Wi-Fi Address by default (a randomized MAC per network), so your router may assign a different local IP when the MAC changes. You can toggle this at Settings → Wi-Fi → tap ⓘ → Private Wi-Fi Address.

On cellular data

On 4G/5G, your local IP is assigned by your carrier's network — usually inside a carrier-grade NAT, meaning many phones share one public IP. That's also why IP geolocation on cellular can be miles off from where you actually are.

iCloud Private Relay

If you have iCloud+ with Private Relay enabled, Safari routes traffic through two relays, masking your public IP from websites you visit. Our IP tool will show the relay's IP, not yours — an easy way to confirm Private Relay is working.
