Have you ever encountered a situation when you urgently need to know IP address of your Honor phonebut don’t know where to look for it? You may need to set up remote access to your device, connect to a local network, or troubleshoot Internet problems. In this article we will analyze all the current methods - from standard Android settings to specialized applications that will show not only local, but also external (public) IP your smartphone.

It is important to understand which IP address is of two types: internal (private) - assigned to a device on a local network (for example, at home or in the office), and external (public) - identifies your network on the Internet. On smartphones Honor (as well as on other Androiddevices), both types can be recognized without installing additional software, but for some tasks third-party utilities may be needed. We will look at both options, and also explain why sometimes the IP changes on its own and how to fix it.

1. How to find the local IP address through Wi-Fi settings

The easiest way is to look at the IP directly in the wireless network connection menu. This method works on all smartphones Honor (including models Honor 50, Honor 70, Honor Magic and others) regardless of version Android (from EMUI to MagicOS).

Instructions:

  • 📶 Open Settings and go to section Wi-Fi (or Wireless networks).
  • 🔗 Click on the name of your active network (there will be a checkmark next to it Connected).
  • 📄 Scroll down to the block Additional or Information about the network —there will be a line IP address (for example, 192.168.1.102).

If you have Android 12+ or MagicOS 7.0+, the path may be slightly different: sometimes the IP is hidden behind the button Network management → Advanced settings. On some Honor firmware, the local IP is displayed only when connected to Wi-Fi - this method will not work on a mobile network (4G/5G).

📊 How often do you connect to Wi-Fi on your smartphone?
Always at home/at work
Only when necessary
Rarely, mostly mobile data
Never use

2. Viewing IP through “About phone” (for technical users)

This method is suitable for those who like to delve into system information. The menu About the phone is hidden. information about all network interfaces, including IP. The method is universal for everyone Honor and does not require rights root.

How to find:

  1. Go to Settings → About phone → General information (or Software information).
  2. Find item Status or Status information and tap on it.
  3. Scroll to section IP address (can be called Local IP or IPv4 address).

⚠️ Attention: On some models (for example, Honor 8X or Honor 10 Lite) this section may be missing. In this case, use the following. method.

Reconnect to Wi-Fi|Reboot the phone|Check the router settings|Use a third-party application-->

3. Using applications to determine IP

If standard methods did not work or you need more than just one. local, but also external IPinstall one of the specialized applications. They will show all network information in a convenient form, including MAC address, gateway and DNS.

Top 3 proven utilities for Honor:

  • 🔍 IP Tools: Network Utilities - shows both local and public IP, plus tests network speed.
  • 🌐 Network Info II - detailed information about all network interfaces (Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN).
  • 📡 Fing — scans the local network and displays the IP of all connected devices.

Example of working with IP Tools:

  1. Download the application from Google Play and open it.
  2. There will be a block on the main screen Local network with your current IP.
  3. For external IP, go to the tab Public IP.
💡

If the application shows an IP like 169.254.x.x, this means that your phone did not receive the correct address from the router. Try rebooting the router or resetting the network settings on your smartphone.

4. How to find out IP via the command line (for advanced)

If you prefer “manual” methods, you can use the built-in utility Termux (terminal emulator for Android) or ADB. This method is suitable for diagnosing a network or automating tasks.

Instructions via Termux:

  1. Install Termux from Google Play or F-Droid.
  2. Enter the command: 
    ifconfig

    For Wi-Fi look for the block wlan0, for mobile data - rmnet_data.

  3. IP will be in the line inet addr (for example, 192.168.1.105).

For ADB (if the phone is connected to a PC):

adb shell ip route

B the response will be a line like 192.168.1.0/24 —this is your subnet, and the IP of the device can be found with the command:

adb shell ifconfig wlan0
What to do if Termux does not show ifconfig?

By default, Termux does not have the ifconfig utility. Install it with the command:

pkg install net-tools

After this, all network commands will appear. available.

5. Public (external) IP: how to find out and why you need it

Local IP identifies your phone on your home network, and public IP is the address under which your Internet provider “sees” you on the global web. data-i="147">public IP

  • 🔓 Remote access settings (for example, to cameras or servers).
  • 🎮 Online games or torrent trackers (some require binding to IP).
  • 🛡️ Security checks (if suspect a data leak).

How to find the external IP:

  1. Open your browser and go to one of the services:
    • 2ip.ru
    • whatismyip.com
    • ipinfo.io
  • Your public IP, country and provider will be displayed on the screen.

    • ⚠️ Attention: Public IP can be dynamic (changes with each connection) or static (fixed). If you need a permanent address, contact your provider for the “static IP” service.

    IP type Example Where it is used How to find out on Honor
    Local (IPv4) 192.168.1.103 Home network, router, local services Wi-Fi settings or applications
    Public (IPv4) 95.31.128.45 Access from the Internet, online games Services like 2ip.ru
    Local (IPv6) 2a02:6b8:0:1111::103 Modern networks with IPv6 Applications like IP Tools
    IP router 192.168.1.1 Setting up a router, portforwarding Wi-Fi settings → Gateway

    6. Why the IP address changes and how to fix it

    If you notice that The IP of your Honor it is constantly changing, this is normal behavior for most networks. Here's why this happens:

    • 🔄 DHCP server of the router automatically assigns temporary IPs to devices (usually for 24 hours).
    • 📶 When reconnecting to Wi-Fi or mobile network, the IP may update.
    • 🔌 The provider can issue a dynamic public IP.

    How to fix the IP:

    1. For local network: Go to the router settings (usually at 192.168.1.1) and bind MAC address your Honor to the permanent IP in the section DHCP reservation.
    2. For mobile data: Contact your operator for a static IP (the service is paid, not available with all providers).

    ⚠️ Attention: If you manually set a static IP in the phone settings (Wi-Fi Settings → Advanced → Static IP), make sure that it does not conflict with other devices on the network. Otherwise, access to the Internet will be lost.

    💡

    Dynamic IP is safer for privacy, as it is more difficult to track. Static IP is convenient for servers and remote access, but requires additional protection measures (for example, setting up a firewall).

    7. Frequent problems with IP on Honor and their solutions

    Sometimes problems arise with the IP address on smartphones Honor . Let's look at typical scenarios and ways to eliminate them.

    Problem 1: IP type 169.254.x.x (no Internet access).

    • 🔌 Solution: Reboot the router and phone. If that doesn't help, reset the network settings to Honor (Settings → System → Reset → Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings).

    Problem 2: Local IP is not displayed in the settings.

    • 📱 Solution: Connect to another Wi-Fi network or use the application Network Info II for diagnostics.

    Problem 3: Public IP is blocked on some sites.

    • 🌍 Solution: Use a VPN (for example, ProtonVPN or Warp) to change the IP.
    💡

    If after changing the Wi-Fi network the Internet on Honor works, but the IP is not displayed, check if whether the mode is enabled Flight mode or Traffic saving in the settings.

    Is it possible to find out the IP of someone else's Honor phone?

    No, it is impossible to find out the IP of someone else's device without physical access or the consent of the owner. This violates privacy laws. An exception is if the phone is connected to your local network (for example, home Wi-Fi), then its IP can be seen in the list of router devices.

    Why do I have two IP addresses on Honor?

    Most likely, you have both Wi-Fi and mobile data enabled at the same time. Each interface receives its own IP: one from the router, the other from the telecom operator. To see both, use the application Network Info II.

    How to hide your IP on an Honor phone?

    To hide your public IP, use VPN services (for example, NordVPN or Surfshark). They replace your real address with an IP server in another country. The local IP on your home network cannot be hidden - it is needed for the devices to operate.

    Can the phone's IP address change on its own?

    Yes, this is normal. The local IP may change when you reconnect to Wi-Fi or reboot the router. Public IP is often updated by the provider (especially when using mobile data). If you need a permanent address, set up a static IP in your router or order a service from your operator.

    How to find the IP of an Honor phone via a computer?

    If the phone is connected to a PC via USB with debugging enabled (Settings → For developers → USB debugging), use the command: 

    adb shell ifconfig

    Or check the list of devices in the router (usually at 192.168.1.1 in the browser).
