The IP address handed to a device from an iPhone Hotspot, is not sent to Facebook. Facebook only gets the pubic address of the iPhone providing the hotspot which is assigned by the cell carrier the iPhone is using.


To Facebook all devices connected to an iPhone Hotspot will have the same IP address.


Just like all devices connected to a Wifi router will only ever appear to Facebook from the Router's public IP address.


Facebook can only ever see the public IP address. The internal network address is never revealed to it.
