I have an iPhone that has a different Apple ID from the ID that I have on my other devices. How do I change the ID it to the ID I have on the other devices?

I have several iOS devices (2 iPhones, 2 iPads, 1 HomePod, 2 iwatches. All use the same Apple ID except one of the iphones. I was forced to change its ID to use the i watch walkie talkie app. I don't use the app and want to change my apple ID for that device back to the previous ID so that all my iOS devices will have the same ID. How do I do it?

Just sign out of all services on that iPhone with the AppleID on it (iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, the App, Music and Book Stores) and then sign back in with the AppleID you wish to use.

Not that purchases on that device cannot be updated with signing into the Store with the original AppleID used to make the purchases, and you can only swap AppleIDs in the Stores once every 90 days.

Your icloud data saved on that device will be merged with your iCloud data for the other AppleID. If you don’t want that, you could erase that device after you sign out, and set it up as new using the other AppleID to avoid any margining if data and photos between the two AppleIDs.
