Ip adress question

I know moderators oo someone can see ip adress of the computer that spyro forum user is using. How does it show users who are using android phone. Does phones have ip adress too? I wrote this message with my android phone does it show ip adress or what? Or can you even check the ip adress of single posts?

Re: Ip adress question

Any device has to be assigned an IP address before it can connect to the internet, so yes, your phone does have one. I wouldn't be able to tell it's a phone just by looking at the IP, though.

The forum logs the IP address used for each post in the moderator control panel, so when I ask for the IP address of a post, it tells me that information along with a list of every IP the user has ever posted from. It also lists if another user has posted from that IP address before, which is useful for seeing who might be using more than one account.
