Why Find Your iPhone’s IP Address

You may need to know the IP address of your iPhone for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that you are configuring IP-specific settings on your router, such as assigning a static IP address. You can provide your iPhone particular permissions on your network once you have determined the IP address that it uses.

When you have a problem involving an IP conflict, you could also find it useful to know the IP address of your phone. You may determine if your phone is generating any problems on the network by verifying its Internet Protocol (IP) address.
