How is IP Address Determined for Instagram Accounts? Explained!

Hey! Instagram gets your IP from the device you’re using to log in. So, if you’re on Wi-Fi, it’s your router’s IP. If you’re on mobile data, it’s your carrier’s IP.

VPNs hide your real IP, so Instagram will only see the VPN’s IP. But some VPNs are blocked, so it’s not always reliable.

They do log IPs for security, like detecting suspicious logins. But unless you’re doing something shady, they won’t bother you.

You can check your IP with tools like MyIP.com to see what Instagram might be seeing.
