Your IP address is the public network identifier that websites see when your browser connects to them. It can be an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or sometimes both depending on your internet provider, phone network, router, and browser.
What information can your IP show?
An IP address can often reveal an approximate city, state, country, time zone, ISP, and ASN. It does not provide exact GPS location. If you are using a VPN or proxy, the visible IP may belong to that service instead of your real network.
A shorter address format, such as 203.0.113.10. Many networks still use IPv4.
A longer modern address format. Mobile networks often prefer IPv6 when available.
Why your phone and desktop may show different IPs
Your phone may use cellular data, private relay, IPv6, or a VPN, while your desktop may use home Wi-Fi and IPv4. This is normal. Use the IP lookup page to understand the ISP, ASN, city, and country connected to an IP address.
