I am unable to update my apps through the app store because it asks me to go through two factor identification but I cannot get a verification code because they do not have the right phone number or email. All my information is up to date but they still do not send the code to the right phone number.

Have changed my phone number on my Apple ID account still sending to old number?
The sync can take up to 24 hours to complete. Have you restarted the device since changing the number?
All my information is up to date but the verification code is not sent to the right phone number.
