Apple Watch Uses Wrong Apple ID... sort of

My Apple Watch is configured with the same Apple ID as my phone. However when I try to install an App it asks for a password to an old Apple ID that I no longer use. I cannot find a way to change it. The Watch App is using the correct Apple ID. Not sure why this old ID is popping up or how to change it.

Hey!


If you go to https://icloud.com and then log into your old Apple ID, you should be able to do the following:

Apple ID > Settings > My Devices > Click on Apple Watch > Click on the "X" > click on Remove.


Then, you should be able to repair to your new Apple ID. Note that you may be losing a small amount of stored items.

Hope this helped!
