If i put my old apple id password for appstore will it change back?

hey so recently I created a new Apple ID and I didn’t update all apps before I did. When I got my new Apple ID it wouldn’t let me update the apps as it made you put in your old Apple IDs account password. If I put in my old Apple ID password will it change back to the Apple ID or would it just update?

iPhone X, iOS 14

It will just update. But why did you create a new Apple ID? Apple IDs are for life; there is never a need to create a new one. If your email address changes you can just change the address and keep the same account.


You now have 2 Apple IDs to manage, and you will need the old one every time an app is updated.
