How do I find my IP address?

The fastest way to find your IP address is to open ipnow.dev — your public IP is shown instantly. No app, sign up or technical knowledge required.

What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 is the older 32-bit address format (e.g. 99.33.79.49). IPv6 is the newer 128-bit format that provides many more addresses. Many devices now have both.

How do I find my IP address on iPad?

Open ipnow.dev in Safari for your public IP. For your local Wi-Fi IP, go to Settings → Wi-Fi → tap (ⓘ) next to your network name. The IP Address field shows your private IP on that network.

Why is my iPad IP different on Wi-Fi and cellular?

Wi-Fi and mobile data are separate connections with different public IPs. Your router provides the Wi-Fi IP; your carrier provides the cellular IP. Switching between them changes the IP ipnow shows.

Does Safari Private Browsing hide my IP on iPad?

No. Private Browsing only prevents Safari from saving your history locally. Your public IP is still visible to every website. Use a VPN or iCloud Private Relay to mask your IP.

Is my iPad IP the same as my iPhone IP?

On the same Wi-Fi network, yes — both devices share your router's public IP. Each has a different private local IP within the home network. On cellular, each device gets a separate IP from the carrier.

Understanding your iPad IP address

How IP addresses work on iPadOS, the difference between public and local addresses, and what changes between Wi-Fi and cellular.

Your iPad has two IP addresses

Your iPad has a public IP (shown above) shared by all devices on your Wi-Fi network, assigned by your ISP. It also has a local IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) used only inside your home network. On cellular models, your carrier assigns a separate public IP for mobile data.

How to find your IP on iPad

Open ipnow.dev in Safari for your public IP — it appears instantly. For your local Wi-Fi IP: go to Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the (ⓘ) icon next to your connected network. The IP Address field shows your private local IP on that network.

Wi-Fi vs cellular IP on iPad

If you have a cellular iPad, your public IP changes when you switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. Wi-Fi IP comes from your router's ISP connection; cellular IP is assigned by your carrier. Wi-Fi-only iPads always show the same public IP from your router.

Privacy on iPad

Safari's Private Browsing mode does not change your IP address — it only prevents local history from being saved. To mask your IP, use a VPN app on iPadOS, or enable iCloud Private Relay (requires an iCloud+ subscription).

Is it safe to share your iPad's IP address?

Your public IP is visible to every website and service you connect to on your iPad. Here is what it reveals.

What your iPad IP reveals

Your public IP can expose your approximate city, region, and ISP — not your name or precise home address. On cellular, the IP is often shared via carrier-grade NAT across many users, making individual identification less straightforward.

We never log it

ipnow shows no ads and runs no trackers. We never store or log your IP address on our servers. Geolocation and ISP details are fetched from privacy-respecting third-party providers.

Protecting your iPad privacy

Use a reputable VPN app on iPadOS to mask your IP from websites. iCloud Private Relay (available with iCloud+) routes your Safari traffic through two relays so that neither Apple nor your ISP can see both who you are and what you're browsing.
