On an Android phone, there's a difference between your local Wi-Fi IP and the public IP the internet sees. You can find both in under a minute.
Finding your public IP
Open your phone's browser (Chrome or any other) and go to Show-IP.ir — your public IP address, country, city, carrier, and even your location on the map show up instantly.
Finding your local Wi-Fi IP
The exact path varies slightly by Android version and phone manufacturer (Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel, etc.), but the general steps are:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Wi-Fi or Network & Internet.
- Tap your connected Wi-Fi network (you may need to tap the gear icon or the (i) next to the network name).
- In the details, look for IP address — that's your phone's local IP.
Alternative: About Phone
On some phones, you can also see the current IP address under Settings → About Phone → Status (or Status information).
Why is this different from the IP shown on Show-IP.ir?
Your Wi-Fi IP only means something inside your home or office network, while Show-IP.ir shows your public IP — the address the entire internet sees. The full explanation is in Private vs Public IP.
Key takeaways
- Public IP: open Show-IP.ir in your phone's browser.
- Local Wi-Fi IP: Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the connected network.
