await Network.getIpAddressAsync();
// "92.168.32.44

You can use Expo Network.getIpAddressAsync() which returns a Promise, so you need to resolve it first.

Here is an example:

import * as Network from 'expo-network';

const ipAlert = async () => {
  const ip = await Network.getIpAddressAsync()
  alert(ip);
};

ipAlert();
