How is IP Address Determined for Instagram Accounts? Explained!

10 Replies, 1641 Views

Instagram usually grabs your IP address from the network you're connected to when you log in. So yeah, if you're on Wi-Fi, it’ll use that IP, and if you're on mobile data, it’ll use your carrier's IP.

If you're using a VPN, Instagram will see the VPN's IP instead of your real one. But keep in mind, Instagram might flag accounts using VPNs if they detect suspicious activity.

As for whether they care about your IP, they probably don’t unless you’re doing something against their guidelines. But they do log IPs for security reasons, like detecting unauthorized logins.

If you wanna test your IP, you can use tools like WhatIsMyIPAddress.com to see what IP Instagram might be seeing.
