iPhone keeps saying app needs to be updated after I pick "keep"

For several old apps on my phone, the new iOS has been bugging me that they need to be updated and asking me to keep or delete them, even though I have already picked "keep". I don't need the data in there or anything; I just want to keep them and for it to stop asking me the same question. Is there a way to get it to chill?


It's an old iPhone SE running iOS 14.6.

I figured out something that worked for me. I opened the App Store and logged out and logged back in and the error messages have not shown up again. It did show the wrong email in my App Store login so that might have been a contributor as well. It had the email i was using as my apple id up til about 5-6 months ago. So it looks like it was connecting to my apple id ok even though it was using the old email but still giving me issues. the problem hasn’t happened since.
