Instagram determines your IP address based on your internet connection. When you connect to Instagram, it grabs the IP address assigned to your device by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). So yeah, it’s tied to your connection, not just your device. If you’re switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, Instagram will see different IPs because each connection has its own IP.
Using a VPN? Instagram will see the VPN’s IP, not yours. That’s the whole point of a VPN—it masks your real IP. If you’re curious about your IP, you can check it on sites like whatismyipaddress.com.
Hope that clears it up! ✌️
