App snapshot
IP Changer + History is a free mobile utility from the developer mnbit that lets you alter your device’s IP address while using a cellular connection. It’s aimed at users who want fast IP switching for privacy, troubleshooting, or network testing, and it records the addresses you’ve used so you can review them later. Functionally it sits in the same category as IP-management utilities and scanners such as Angry IP Scanner, though it’s focused on quick on-device IP changes rather than comprehensive network scanning.
Operation and user flow
When you open the app, the interface is straightforward: your current IP is shown prominently and a single control lets you request a new address. Tapping the control attempts to renew or replace the assigned IP; the app also provides a quick Airplane Mode toggle to force a reconnection in some cases. Each assigned address is automatically saved to an in-app history so you can see previous values and timestamps.
Note: this tool only affects cellular (mobile) data connections. It does not change the IP address used when your device is connected to Wi‑Fi.
Notable capabilities
- Clean, minimal interface that exposes the main functions without clutter
- One-tap IP renewal for rapid changes while connected to mobile data
- Automatic archive of past IPs so you can track what addresses were used
- Quick Airplane Mode shortcut to trigger a network reconnect
- Designed exclusively for cellular networks; Wi‑Fi IPs are not handled
Limitations and considerations
- The Airplane Mode trick used to force an IP change may not work consistently on all devices or with all carriers.
- Because it only operates over mobile networks, it’s not a replacement for tools that manage or analyze wired/Wi‑Fi network interfaces.
- Results depend on your carrier’s DHCP behavior and network policies; in some cases you may receive the same IP again after reconnection.
Recommendation
If you often need to swap IP addresses while on cellular data and prefer a very simple, one-button workflow, this app is worth trying. It’s easy to use and the address history is a convenient feature. Keep in mind the mobile-only limitation and the occasional unreliability of the Airplane Mode method when evaluating whether it meets your needs.
