If you’re like most people, you probably have an iPhone and its associated computer. But if you don’t, there are a few things you can do to find out your iPhone’s IP address. First, open the Settings app and select General. Then select Network & Internet. In the list of networks, look for your local network and see if it’s listed as an available connection. If not, try another network or device. If your local network is listed as an available connection, then open a web browser and type in the following URL: iphoneipaddress.com . This will give you a list of all of your devices on that network and their IP addresses.

Why Find Your iPhone’s IP Address
One major reason you may want to know your iPhone’s IP address is that you’re specifying IP-specific settings on your router, such as setting a static IP address. By finding out what IP your iPhone uses, you can give it certain permissions on your network.
Another reason you may wish to know your phone’s IP is when you have an IP conflict problem. By checking your phone’s IP, you know if it’s causing any issues on the network.

How to View Your iPhone’s IP Address
To see the IP address your iPhone has received from your network, you’ll use your phone’s Settings app.
Start by launching Settings on your iPhone. Then tap the “Wi-Fi” option.
In the “Wi-Fi” menu, next to your currently-connected wireless network, tap the “i” icon.
On the network page, next to “IP Address,” you’ll see your iPhone’s current private IP address. This is the string of numbers by which your device is recognized on the network.
Remember that unless you’ve configured a static IP, your iPhone will almost always acquire a new IP address when it’s connected to a network.
Equally simple as this is checking your iPhone’s MAC address, in case you need more info on your device.
