Will your iPhone show up as a new device with a new IP address when you travel to Canada from the US?

“Device” on your AppleID does not change.
IP addresses change constantly but are transparent to the user.
That’s interesting, although we can’t speak to the behavior of Facebook Messenger.

I had been communicating with a business colleague in Facebook Messenger using a “secret conversation” because it was end-to-end encrypted. A few days later I was in Canada for a day. The following day I was back in the US and noticed I had a notification in that conversation. It said that I had added a device the day before, an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and was showing two “keys” for me. I checked the keys, and it was showing “this device” and the one I had added the day before. But I hadn’t added a device the day before. In fact, I hadn’t even communicated in that conversation the day before. My device IS an iPhone 12 Pro Max. So I’m trying to figure out if my phone showed up as being “added” to the conversation since I had travelled to Canada and may have had a new IP address, or if someone somehow managed to gain access to the conversation.
