了解连接到网络的设备的MAC地址可以帮助您管理网络、提高连接速度并防止未经授权的访问(prevent unauthorized access)。如果“MAC 地址”这个词对您来说听起来很陌生或陌生,请阅读本详细指南,了解 MAC 地址是什么(explaining what a MAC address is)、它的意义、它与其他网络标识符的区别以及如何找到PC 或Mac的(Mac)MAC地址。
您将在本指南中了解查找iOS(iPhone 和 iPad)和 Android 设备MAC地址的不同方法。(MAC)另外,我们还将向您展示如何轻松更改设备的MAC地址。
静态与。随机 MAC(Vs. Random MAC)地址:所有你需要知道的
您的设备可能有多个MAC地址:“静态”和“随机” MAC地址。“静态”地址硬连线到设备的硬件,而“随机”地址由设备的操作系统生成,以防止网络运营商、ISP(ISPs)和网站跟踪您的在线活动。
静态MAC地址是永久性的,而随机MAC地址会因您加入的每个网络而异。默认情况下,iOS 和Android都会隐藏(由制造商)分配给您的设备的永久MAC地址,并在连接到新网络时生成随机MAC地址。(MAC)
Android(版本 10 或更高版本)使用“ MAC地址随机化”技术为您加入的每个 Wi-Fi 网络分配新的MAC地址。在 iOS(版本 14 或更新版本)上,该功能称为“私人 Wi-Fi 地址”。在各种网络上使用不同的MAC地址会使网络提供商更难跟踪您。
下面,我们将深入探讨为什么手机制造商会随机分配MAC地址。但现在,让我们向您展示如何检查设备的静态和随机MAC地址。

How to Find MAC Address on iPhone (iOS) and Android Devices
Knowing the MΑC addresses of devices connected to your network can help you manage the network, improve its connection speed, and prevent unauthorized access. If the term “MAC address” sounds strange or new to you, go through this detailed guide explaining what a MAC address is, its significance, how it differs from other network identifiers, and how to find the MAC address of a PC or Mac.
What you’ll learn in this guide are the different methods to find the MAC address of iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android-powered devices. As a plus, we’ll also show you how to change your device’s MAC address easily.
Static Vs. Random MAC Addresses: All You Need to Know
Your device may have multiple MAC addresses: a “Static” and “Randomized” MAC address. The “Static” address is hardwired to the device’s hardware while the “Randomized” address is generated by your device’s operating system to prevent network operators, ISPs, and websites from tracking your online activities.
A static MAC address is permanent, while randomized MAC addresses will differ for every network you join. By default, both iOS and Android will hide the permanent MAC address assigned to your device (by the manufacturer) and generate a random MAC address when connecting to a new network.
Android (version 10 or newer) uses a “MAC Address Randomization” technology to assign new MAC addresses for every Wi-Fi network you join. On iOS (version 14 or newer), the feature is known as “Private Wi-Fi Address.” Using different MAC addresses on various networks makes it more difficult for network providers to track you.
Below, we’ll dig deeper into why phone manufacturers randomize MAC addresses. But for now, let’s show you how to check your device’s static and randomized MAC address.
Finding an iPhone’s MAC Address
iOS doesn’t adopt the MAC address name or label. What you’ll find on your iPhone and iPad is a “Wi-Fi Address.” But not to worry, they both mean the same thing.
To check the static MAC address assigned to your iPhone by Apple, go to Settings > General > About and check the Wi-Fi Address row.
You can find the private MAC address from the Wi-Fi settings menu or your router’s iOS app.
Check the iOS Wi-Fi Settings Menu
The fastest route to get your iPhone’s randomized MAC address is from the Wi-Fi Settings menu. Open the Settings app, select Wi-Fi, and tap the Info icon next to the active Wi-Fi network.
You’ll find your iPhone’s randomized MAC address in the Wi-Fi Address row.
Check Your Router App
If your Wi-Fi router has a dedicated mobile app, you should be able to check your iPhone’s randomized MAC address via the app. Connect your iPhone to the Wi-Fi network and launch your router’s iOS app.
Depending on your router’s brand or model, as well as the router app’s interface, you’ll find the randomized or static MAC address of connected devices in any of these sections: Device Management, Network Management, WLAN management, Device Information, etc.
Can’t find your device’s MAC address in any of these sections? Refer to the router’s instruction manual or contact the app developers.
Finding Android MAC Address
Compared to iOS, Android offers more options to check MAC addresses. You’ll find your device’s permanent (static) MAC address in Settings > About phone > Wi-Fi MAC Address.
Alternatively, check the network settings menu or use third-party network applications.
Check the Android Network Settings Menu
Connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network, launch the Android Settings app and follow the steps below.
1. Open the Network & Internet menu, and select Wi-Fi.
2. Select the active Wi-Fi network or tap the gear icon next to the network’s name.
3. Expand the Advanced section.
4. Scroll to the Network Details section to see your device’s randomized MAC address. You’ll also find other relevant network-related info like IP address, DNS server, etc.
Quick Tip: You can easily copy your device’s MAC address by long-pressing the MAC address and tapping Copy.
Use Third-Party Wi-Fi Analyzers
Wi-Fi analyzers (also called Wi-Fi scanners) are robust network tools that provide thorough information about the status and performance of your Wi-Fi network. With a Wi-Fi analyzer app, you can view your router’s signal strength, monitor internet usage, check upload and download speed, view your device’s MAC randomized address, etc. Some Wi-Fi scanners can even help diagnose and troubleshoot connectivity issues.
Fing is a popular and free network analyzer that’s available on the Google Play Store. Install Fing on your device, head to the Devices tab, select your Android device, and scroll to the Network details section to check the device’s MAC address.
Network Analyzer is another reliable Wi-Fi scanning app we recommend. It’s free with a straightforward interface that displays detailed information about your Wi-Fi network and connected devices. Install and launch the app, scroll to the Wi-Fi Details section to see your device’s MAC address. Tap the MAC address to copy it to your device’s clipboard.

Disable Randomized and Private MAC Address
If you want your device to use the same MAC address across all Wi-Fi networks, disabling MAC address randomization will get the job done.
Turn Off MAC Address Randomization on Android
To disable MAC address randomization on Android, join a Wi-Fi network, open the notification center, and long-press the Wi-Fi icon. Proceed to the steps below to disabled randomized MAC addresses on your Android device.
Tap the gear icon next to the active Wi-Fi network, expand the Advanced drop-down menu, and tap the Privacy option.
Select Use device MAC to disable MAC address randomization.
Android will end the connection but automatically rejoin the Wi-Fi network in about 3-5 seconds.
Turn Off Private Wi-Fi Address on iPhone
For iOS, head to the Wi-Fi settings menu (Settings > Wi-Fi), tap the active Wi-Fi network, and toggle off the Private Address option.
How to Change MAC Address on iOS and Android
To change the randomized MAC address of your iOS or Android, all you need to do is forget the Wi-Fi network on your device. When you rejoin the network, your device’s operating system will generate a new private or randomized MAC address for that particular network.
On your Android device, go to the Wi-Fi settings menu, long-press the network, and select Forget network.
Alternatively, tap the gear icon next to the network and tap the Forget icon.
To forget a Wi-Fi network on an iPhone, open the Wi-Fi settings menu, select the Wi-Fi network and tap Forget This Network.
iOS and MAC Address Restriction
If you’re wondering why we didn’t list any app for iPhone, it’s because Apple no longer allows third-party apps to view or access MAC addresses on iOS devices.
This restriction commenced with the introduction of iOS 11. Drop any questions regarding viewing and accessing MAC addresses on Android and iOS below. We’ll try to answer your questions in the best way possible.
