I changed Apple IDs and when I go to update apps it asks me for my old ID

I got a new phone and transferred all my information, but I changed Apple IDs. When I go to update apps it asks me for my old ID and won’t let me use my new one. How do I fix this?

Apps are specific to an Apple ID. If you use a new ID you will have to buy your apps again if you wish to continue to use the new ID. You can set up Family Sharing to allow you to share the apps from the old ID with the new one, but now you will have to make sure you keep both accounts up to date.
