Find your IP

Find your IP address on Android

On a Pixel, open Settings, tap Network & internet, tap Internet, then tap the gear next to your Wi-Fi network. The IP address sits at the bottom of the network details. On a Samsung, open Settings, tap Connections, tap Wi-Fi, then tap the gear next to your network. For the public address, open whatsmyip.fyi.

Pixel and stock Android

Google reorganised these screens in Android 12 and has kept the layout since.

  1. Settings, then Network & internet.
  2. Tap Internet. The connected network sits at the top of the list.
  3. Tap the gear to its right. Tapping the name reconnects instead.
  4. Network details lists the security type, signal strength, gateway, subnet mask, DNS servers, and IP address.

Long-press the value to copy it.

Samsung Galaxy and One UI

Samsung keeps networking under Connections.

  1. Settings, then Connections.
  2. Tap Wi-Fi, then tap the gear beside the connected network.
  3. The detail sheet shows the IP address. If it does not, tap View more to expand the advanced rows, which also hold the gateway and DNS entries.

One UI also exposes an IP management setting on that sheet. Leave it on DHCP unless you deliberately want a static address, in which case pick one outside your router’s DHCP pool.

The fallback that works on every Android

Manufacturer skins move the Wi-Fi screens around. The About phone route rarely changes.

  • Pixel and stock: Settings, About phone, then read IP address.
  • Samsung: Settings, About phone, Status information, then IP address.
  • Xiaomi, OnePlus, Motorola: Settings, About phone, then look for Status or IP address.

This screen lists every address on every live interface, so expect several lines. An address like 192.168.1.42 is your Wi-Fi address. A long hexadecimal line starting with 2 or 3 is a global IPv6 address. A line starting with fe80:: is link-local, defined in RFC 4291, and it is normal.

Private address, public address

The 192.168 or 10.x address on those screens is private, reserved by RFC 1918 for use inside a network. It identifies your phone to your router and nothing more. Websites see your router’s public address instead, which is what whatsmyip.fyi shows. The full report adds ISP, ASN, and approximate location.

The public vs private guide explains why both exist.

On mobile data

Turn Wi-Fi off and check About phone again, or load whatsmyip.fyi. Two patterns are normal on carriers:

  • Only an IPv6 address appears. Most large operators run IPv6-only mobile networks and translate IPv4 traffic with 464XLAT, so there is no IPv4 address on the interface at all.
  • An IPv4 address in 100.64.0.0/10 appears. That is carrier-grade NAT under RFC 6598. It is not your public address, and you cannot forward ports to it.

Expect the reported city to be your carrier’s gateway location rather than your own.

When the IP address is missing or starts with 169.254

An empty IP address row means the interface has not obtained a lease. An address in 169.254.0.0/16 means DHCP timed out and Android self-assigned a link-local address per RFC 3927. Both point at the router, not the phone.

Try this order: forget the network and rejoin, disable randomised MAC for that network if the router uses MAC filtering or address reservations, then restart the router. Randomised MAC is per network on modern Android, under the same gear icon, listed as Privacy or MAC address type.

Finding the router at the same time

The gateway shown on the network details screen is your router’s LAN address. Type it into a browser on the same Wi-Fi to reach the admin page. The find your router’s IP guide covers desktops and the common default addresses.

Questions people ask

Why does About phone show several IP addresses?
Android lists every address on every active interface. You normally see one IPv4 address plus two or three IPv6 addresses: a global one, a temporary privacy address, and a link-local one starting with fe80.
How do I see my IP address on mobile data?
Turn Wi-Fi off, then open Settings, About phone, and read the IP address row. It usually shows an IPv6 address because most carriers run IPv6-only mobile cores.
Does Android's randomised MAC change my IP address?
No. Randomised MAC changes the hardware identifier your phone shows the access point. The router still assigns an IP address by DHCP, and it may assign a different one each time the MAC changes.
