how to you set a static IP on ios 14? I have private address turned off. I still do not get an option to set to static IP when I select the i button beside the network

When you are in that screen, under IPV4 Address, where it says Configure IP, if it reads Automatic, tap on that and it should open a page for you to select Manual.

No, I'm not talking about the Apple Watch. This question was about the iPad. If you are experiencing an issue with your Apple Watch, please go to the Apple Watch forum here and ask your question there.

Are you talking about from the Apple Watch device. The settings/WiFi only allows you to select the network name. No other options. I am confused.
