How to change phone ip address?

Here are several safe and effective ways to change your phone’s IP address, depending on what you want to achieve — whether for privacy, troubleshooting, or accessing region-restricted content.

Turn Airplane Mode On and Off

Works for: Mobile data (cellular network)

Turn on Airplane mode for about 30 seconds.

Then turn it off again.

Your carrier will often assign a new IP address automatically.

Reconnect to Wi-Fi

Works for: Wi-Fi networks

Disconnect from the Wi-Fi network.

Reconnect again — sometimes you’ll get a different local IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x).

To change your public IP, you’ll need to reboot your router (unplug for 30–60 seconds and plug back in).

Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Works for: All connections

Install a reputable VPN app (e.g. ProtonVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, Windscribe).

Choose a server location — your phone will appear to have the IP of that region.
Use a Mobile Proxy or Tor

Mobile proxy: Reroutes your traffic through another device’s mobile network IP. Often used for automation or SEO tasks.

Tor browser: Encrypts and routes through several nodes, changing your visible IP with each connection.

Manually Configure a Static IP (Local Only)

For Wi-Fi LAN IP changes:

Go to Wi-Fi settings → Tap your connected network → Advanced / IP settings.

Change IP settings from DHCP → Static.

Enter your desired local IP (e.g. 192.168.1.250).

Use a Different Network

Connect to another Wi-Fi (e.g. coffee shop, hotspot, friend’s phone).

Each network has its own external IP.
