Hi! I’m trying to update Whatsapp but when I try it takes me to a screen that says “Log into iTunes store”. I type in the password that I have always used for the App store. It says that it is wrong and when I press forgot password, it automatically has my dads account as default. When I check in my settings, the Apple ID is my own. How do I fix this? Do I need to change my iTunes account, and if so, how do I do it?
iPhone 8, iOS 14
Hi tove259,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to update WhatsApp because of a sign in issue with your Apple ID, and we'd like to assist. This type of issue usually occurs when the app was originally downloaded under a different Apple ID, such as your Dad's ID. We recommend deleting WhatsApp and then reinstalling it under your Apple ID. This should resolve the issue.
Take care.
