Instagram determines your IP based on the network you’re connected to—WiFi or mobile data. It’s not tied to your device, but the network itself.
If you use a VPN, Instagram will see the VPN’s IP instead of yours. But some VPNs might leak your real IP, so it’s worth testing with a tool like ipleak.net.
And yeah, Instagram uses your IP for ads and location stuff, so if you’re not into that, a VPN is a solid move.
