IP address

Hello, I was chatting to someone I met on a dating app. This person started to be unpleasant so I blocked him on WhatsApp. He then text me to say he has found where I live from my ip address and threaten me if I don't unblock him. I've reported to WhatsApp and the police but still very worried as I live alone. Please help

Do not worry.

The only one who can find out your address by IP is your ISP and even their records might be out of date.
 
Thanks, the police said it is just someone try ok mg to scare me but I'm terrified but thanks so much for that

It's understandable, but _know_ that he/she can't find where you live by IP. At most the country or city can be approximated, but not more accurate than that.

Go enjoy your life.
 
Lucian is entirely correct that your IP address doesn't identify your home address any closer than the city you're in and even then it may show as a different city entirely. You've taken the correct actions to keep him blocked and contact the police so hopefully he'll stop making horrible threats to you and move on.
 
I live in Scotland, my IP address can be showing me in NI but mainly in London as that's where EE and Three have their main data centres. Pretty sure O2 and Voda will be the same.
