Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hey! Im having a problem with my Iphone 8. I need to update some apps. By clicking the update button,
it will say that i need my mother’s Apple ID password even though i have my own in the phone settings and in the Appstore settings!
A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
Or you can ask your mother to set up Family Sharing to keep access to your purchases.
