How to Find My IP Address on Android (Public & Private)

This guide covers: How to Find My IP Address on Android (Public & Private).

Android devices have a public IP (what websites see) and a private/local IP (assigned by your Wi-Fi router). This guide covers how to find both on Android 12, 13, 14, and 15.

Find your public IP on Android

Your public IP is the address the internet uses to identify your connection. The fastest way to check it is to open our homepage IP checker in Chrome or any browser — it shows your IPv4 and IPv6 address, ISP, city, and ASN instantly.

On mobile data, your carrier assigns a public IP that often changes when you reconnect. On Wi-Fi, your public IP is your router's external address shared by all connected devices.

Find your local (private) IP on Android

Your local IP is what your Wi-Fi router assigns to your phone. It usually starts with 192.168 or 10.0.

Method 1: Wi-Fi settings (stock Android)

1. Open Settings > Network & internet > Internet.
2. Tap the gear icon next to your connected Wi-Fi network.
3. Your IP address appears under Network details. You may need to expand the Advanced section on some devices.

Method 2: Samsung One UI

1. Open Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap the gear icon next to your connected network.
3. Your IP address shows near the bottom of the network detail screen.

Method 3: Quick Settings

On many Android phones, you can long-press the Wi-Fi tile in Quick Settings to jump directly to the Wi-Fi detail screen where your IP is shown.

Method 4: Using Termux (advanced)

If you have the Termux app installed, open it and run:

ip addr show wlan0 | grep inet

This shows your Wi-Fi IP. For your public IP, run:

curl ifconfig.me

Public IP vs private IP on Android

Your public IP is what websites and online services see. All devices on your Wi-Fi share the same public IP. Your private IP is unique to your Android phone inside the local network and is not visible to the internet.

Android randomized MAC address

Since Android 10, devices use a randomized MAC address per Wi-Fi network by default. This is a privacy feature that prevents network tracking across locations. It does not change your IP address. You can view this in Settings > Wi-Fi > network details > Privacy/Randomized MAC.

Using a VPN on Android

When you connect a VPN on Android, your public IP should change to the VPN server's address. To verify it is working:

1. Check your IP on our homepage before and after connecting the VPN.
2. Use the VPN verification checklist to confirm IP change, DNS leaks, and more.

What to do after finding your IP

• Verify your VPN is working on Android
• Run a DNS leak test
• Check your IP location accuracy
• Learn how to hide your IP address
• Find your router IP and access the admin panel
