Where is my IP address on my iPhone?

To find your iPhone’s IP address, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ⓘ icon next to your network. You’ll see your device’s private IP address listed under IPv4 Address.

What happens if someone gets my iPhone’s IP address?

If someone has your IP address, they could trace your iPhone’s general location, target your network with spam or denial‑of‑service attacks, and probe for vulnerabilities in your router or connected devices. They might even sell your IP and other data on the dark web. While not enough to hack you directly, it can enable more targeted cyberattacks.

What is the difference between a public and private IP address?

The difference between a public and private IP address is that your public IP address is assigned by your ISP and is visible to websites, apps, and online services, allowing them to identify your network on the internet. A private IP address operates only within your local network, identifying devices to each other but remaining hidden from the wider internet.

What is the easiest way to get a new public IP on my iPhone?

The easiest way to get a new public IP address on your iPhone is to use a VPN. A VPN securely routes your internet traffic through one of its servers, masking your real IP and replacing it with the server’s address. This not only gives you a new IP but also adds encryption for privacy and security.
