Finding the MAC address on your iPhone or iPad is essential for troubleshooting network issues, connecting to specific Wi-Fi networks, or enhancing your device’s security. The MAC address, a unique identifier for your device’s network interface, can be easily accessed through your device’s settings.

But in particular, only one connection is possible so at that time you will need to choose MAC address based on connection to complete configuration.
The same rule applies if you have an iPad or an iPhone; however, for network configuration, the Wi-Fi MAC address is typically used.
As you know, the MAC address is essential, so save it or write it down on a piece of paper. Alternatively, you can copy the settings only and paste them into your new email, or create a new email on your device and paste the settings into it.
