How to Find iPhone MAC Address

Finding MAC Address on iPhone

The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network. It is a 12-digit hexadecimal number, and every iPhone has its own MAC address.

To find your iPhone’s MAC address, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on “General” and then tap on “About”.
3. Scroll down and look for the “Wi-Fi Address” or “Bluetooth” address. These are your iPhone’s MAC addresses for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth respectively.
4. You can copy the address by tapping and holding on the address, and then selecting “Copy”.

It is worth noting that the MAC address of your iPhone can be used for various purposes, such as tracking your device or limiting network access. Therefore, it is important to keep your MAC address private and only share it with trusted parties.

Using Settings to Find MAC Address

You can use the “Settings” app on your iPhone to easily find the MAC address of your device. Here’s how:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on “Wi-Fi” and make sure that your Wi-Fi is turned on.
3. Find the name of the Wi-Fi network that you are currently connected to, and tap on the (i) icon next to it.
4. Scroll down and look for “MAC Address”. This is your iPhone’s MAC address for the Wi-Fi network you are connected to.

Note that if you are not connected to any Wi-Fi network, you will not be able to see the MAC address for Wi-Fi in this section. However, you can still find the MAC address by following the steps mentioned in the previous section under the subtitle “Finding MAC Address on iPhone”.
