I can’t update apps on my iPhone bc I was logged into another Apple ID when I originally got my phone. How can I fix it?

Why won’t it let me change my Apple ID so I can update apps.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

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.

Purchase History Review.

Or you can try to set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
