Your public IP: open a page
With IPv4, the public address usually belongs to your router or your mobile carrier, not to the phone, so it does not appear in the phone's settings. The quickest way to see it is to open the iseeu.cc home page on the phone. On Wi-Fi its IPv4 line shows your router's public address, the same for every device at home. On mobile data it shows the carrier's address, which you usually share with many other customers.
IPv6 works differently: each device normally gets its own public IPv6 address, and the phone lists it with its network details (see below).
The home page also shows your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses side by side. Many mobile networks give phones an IPv6 address, so do not be surprised to see a long address with colons: on 9 October 2026, 48.7% of all users reached Google over IPv6.
Your local IP on Wi-Fi
The local address, usually starting with 192.168, 10 or 172.16 to 172.31, is shown in the phone's Wi-Fi settings. Menu names can differ slightly between versions and models.
iPhone
- Open Settings and tap Wi-Fi.
- Tap the (i) button next to the network you are connected to.
- Under IPv4 Address, read IP Address. Subnet Mask and Router are just below; IPv6 addresses have their own section further down, and on a network with IPv6 they include the phone's public IPv6 address.
Pixel, Motorola and other near-stock Android phones
- Open Settings and tap Network & internet, then Internet.
- Tap the gear next to the connected network.
- Under Network details, read IP address. Gateway, subnet mask and IPv6 addresses are on the same screen.
Shortcut: Settings › About phone also lists the IP address of the connection you are using right now.
Samsung Galaxy
Open Settings › About phone › Status information and read IP address. The same screen shows the phone's Wi-Fi MAC address.
Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO
Open Settings › About phone › Detailed info and specs › Status and read IP address. On older MIUI versions, Detailed info and specs is called All specs.
On mobile data
On mobile data, the IPv4 address in About phone is the one your carrier gave the phone, usually not the one websites see. (If your carrier uses IPv6, the IPv6 address listed there is normally your public IPv6 address.) Carriers usually put many customers behind one public IPv4 address with carrier-grade NAT (RFC 6888), and often number the phones from private ranges such as 10.x.x.x or the shared range 100.64.0.0/10 (RFC 6598). That is why the address in settings and the address on this site rarely match on mobile data, and why your location can appear in another city.
On networks that are IPv6-only inside, Android may show 192.0.0.4. That is a placeholder used to translate IPv4 traffic over IPv6 (RFC 7335), not an address on the internet.
When the address on this site is not yours
- iCloud Private Relay (Settings › your name › iCloud › Private Relay) hides your IP from websites in Safari. This site then sees a relay address.
- A VPN replaces your address with the VPN's. Our WebRTC leak test shows whether the browser still reveals the real one.
- Private Wi-Fi Address on iPhone and randomized MAC on Android change the hardware address on each network. Your public IPv4 address stays the same, but the router may give the phone a different local IP.

Frequently asked questions
Is my phone's IP address the same as my Wi-Fi router's?
Its public IPv4 address usually is: behind the router's NAT, every device on the same Wi-Fi shares one public IPv4 address, so websites see the same IPv4 for all of them. IPv6 is different: each device normally has its own public IPv6 address. The local IP (such as 192.168.x.x) is different for each device; the router hands it out and it only works inside your network.
Why does my phone show 192.168 or 10 at the start of its IP?
That is a private address from the ranges RFC 1918 sets aside for local networks. It identifies your phone on your Wi-Fi, not on the internet. To see the address websites see, open the iseeu.cc home page.
Why does my IP address keep changing on mobile data?
Mobile carriers usually share public IPv4 addresses among many customers through carrier-grade NAT. When the data connection is set up again, for example after airplane mode or a restart, your phone can be given a different address on the carrier's side and leave through a different public one.
Can someone find where I live from my phone's IP address?
No. An IP address points to your provider's network and usually a city or region, often a different city on mobile data. Only your provider can link the address to your account.
Does the iPhone's Private Wi-Fi Address change my IP?
It changes the hardware (MAC) address your phone uses on each network, not your public IPv4 address. Your local IP can change, though: a router that hands out or reserves addresses by MAC sees the new MAC as a new device. iCloud Private Relay, a different feature, does hide your IP from websites in Safari.
