Can’t update apps

When request for app updates I’m asked for my password but the Apple ID isn’t mine. How do I change to my Apple ID and be able to update apps?

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.
