Q: how do i remove apps on my iphone from other users

my iPhone continually asks me to sign into iTunes for my wife's account and daughter account.

I can't figure out which apps of theirs has synced onto my phone.

How do i figure out which app is associated with their account so I can delete them?

    If there are apps on your phone you don't want, it really wouldn't matter if they are your wife's or daughter's as removing them from your phone won't remove them from their phones.  So just delete what you don't want.

    i guess i phrased the question incorrectly.

     

    How do I stop my phone from continually asking me to sign into my wife and daughter's itunes accounts?

     

    (I assume this is happening because i downloaded one of their apps when i synced my phone with itunes. But im not sure which app is associated with their account. If i could find those apps, i would delete them. )

    Yes, it would happen if you downloaded an app of theirs.  You can do some detective work by comparing your app list with either your wife or daughter and delete the one you think you wouldn't have downloaded.  Your phone is likely asking you to sign in because the associated app won't update unless you sign in with the correct Apple ID tied to that app.  So look at your list of apps that need to be updated and the one that won't update is probably the one.

    Find the app(s) using your computer iTunes > Apps.

    Right click ( or on a Mac using Control + Click) on the app, under the File Tab see Purchased by ....
