How to Find Your IP Address on Android

Find your public IP address (works on any Android phone)

Your public IP is what websites see when you connect. The fastest way to find it on any Android device:

1. Open Chrome (or any browser).
2. Go to scanmyipaddress.com.
3. Your public IP appears immediately along with your location, ISP, and connection details.

This works whether you're on Wi-Fi or cellular — the IP shown is whatever your current connection is using.

Find your private IP on stock Android (Pixel, Motorola, etc.)

For Google Pixel, Motorola, Nokia, and other phones running close-to-stock Android:

1. Open Settings (gear icon).
2. Tap Network & Internet.
3. Tap Internet or Wi-Fi.
4. Tap your connected Wi-Fi network.
5. Tap the gear icon next to the network name (some versions show "View more").
6. Scroll down to "IP address" — your private IP is listed there (usually 192.168.x.x).

You'll also see other useful network details on this screen: gateway (router IP), subnet mask, DNS servers, and your phone's MAC address.

Find your private IP on Samsung Galaxy

Samsung's One UI uses slightly different menus:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Connections (not "Network & Internet" — Samsung renamed this).
3. Tap Wi-Fi.
4. Tap the gear icon next to your currently connected network.
5. Scroll down to find "IP address" in the network details.

Samsung phones also show "IPv6 address" right below if your network supports it.

Find your private IP on other Android brands

OnePlus (OxygenOS)

Settings → Wi-Fi & Network → Wi-Fi → tap the gear icon next to your network → scroll to IP address.

Xiaomi / Redmi (MIUI / HyperOS)

Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the arrow (›) next to your connected network → scroll to see IP address.

Huawei (EMUI / HarmonyOS)

Settings → Wireless & networks → Wi-Fi → tap your connected network → scroll to IP address.

Sony

Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi → tap connected network → tap "Advanced" or gear icon → IP address.

If your phone doesn't match any of these

The pattern is universally similar: navigate to your network settings, find your connected Wi-Fi network, tap its details (often a gear or arrow icon), and look for "IP address." If you're stuck, just open scanmyipaddress.com in your browser — you'll see your public IP without needing to find any settings.

Quick alternative: Pull down the notification shade, long-press the Wi-Fi icon, then tap your connected network — this shortcut works on most modern Android phones and bypasses the Settings menu entirely.

Find your IP on cellular data

Like iOS, Android doesn't show your cellular IP in the Settings app. To find it:

1. Make sure you're on cellular (disable Wi-Fi if needed).
2. Open Chrome and visit scanmyipaddress.com.
3. The IP shown is your cellular carrier's assigned IP.

US cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) typically use Carrier-Grade NAT, meaning many subscribers share the same public IP. Your cellular IP also changes frequently as you move between towers.

Troubleshooting

"IP address" shows nothing or 0.0.0.0

Your Android device hasn't successfully connected to the network. Try:

• Toggle Wi-Fi off and back on
• Forget the network and reconnect (long-press the network name → Forget)
• Restart your phone
• Check that the router isn't full (some routers have a device limit)

I see two IP addresses

Modern Android shows both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when your network supports both. They're both valid — your phone uses whichever protocol the destination server supports.

I'm using a VPN — which IP shows?

If you have a VPN active, our homepage tool will show the VPN's IP, not your real one. Settings > Wi-Fi shows the underlying private IP, which the VPN doesn't change.

My phone's MAC address randomizes — does my IP too?

No, these are different. Modern Android (and iOS) randomize MAC addresses per network for privacy. Your IP is assigned separately by your router via DHCP and may also rotate, but the two aren't linked.
