    Hi shivamdevgan,

    I understand you have some apps that are not updating on your iPhone 5s.  Did your Dad erase the iPhone when he gave it to you?  Are you using a different Apple ID than he had?   First, try signing out of the iTunes Store and restarting your iPhone 5s.  Then try updating one app at a time instead of all of them at once.  If the issue persists, backup the iPhone, then delete the apps and redownload them.  The resources below will provide some additional information.

     

    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Delete music, movies, apps, and other content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Delete an app

    1. Press and hold the app until it jiggles.
    2. Tap the   in the upper-left corner to delete.

    You might be asked to confirm that you want to delete the app. If you see a pop-up that says, "Deleting [app name] will also delete all of its data," tap Delete.

     

    Download your past purchases

    Redownload an app

    You can redownload apps on your iPhone or iPod touch, iPad, Mac or PC, or Apple TV (4th generation). You can also redownload some in-app purchases.

    On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    1. Open the App Store app.
    2. On an iPhone or iPod touch: Tap Updates, then tap Purchased.
      On an iPad: Tap Purchased.
    3. Scroll to find the app that you want to download.
    4. Tap the Download icon  . After the app downloads, you can open it from your Home screen.

     

    Take care,
