How is IP Address Determined for Instagram? Understanding the Process

Instagram gets your IP from your internet connection, not your device. So, if you’re on Wi-Fi, it’s your router’s IP. On mobile data? It’s your carrier’s IP.

VPNs hide your real IP. Instagram will only see the VPN server’s IP.

Switching between Wi-Fi and data? Your IP changes. Instagram will log the new IP each time.
