How to Find an IP Address on an iPad
Locate your iPad’s IP address and related network details using the iPadOS settings app.
Finding the IP Address in iPadOS Settings
On an iPad, open Settings and tap Wi‑Fi. Next, tap the info icon (i) next to your current network. The IPv4 Address section shows the IP address, subnet mask, and router information assigned to your iPad.
If your network uses IPv6, you may also see IPv6 addresses in the same panel. These values can help when troubleshooting connectivity or configuring device-specific network rules.
Comparing IP Information with Other Devices
Comparing the IP and router details on your iPad with those on a laptop or phone connected to the same network can reveal whether they are on the same subnet and using the same gateway. Differences may indicate guest networks or VLANs.
If only one device has trouble reaching certain resources, its specific IP or DNS configuration may be at fault rather than the entire network.
Checking the Public IP from an iPad
To see the public IP address your iPad uses on the internet, open Safari or another browser and visit a site that shows your IP. As with other devices, this public IP usually belongs to your router, hotspot, or VPN endpoint, not the iPad itself.
Knowing both the local and public addresses gives you a clearer picture of how traffic flows from the iPad through your network to the internet.
