How do I stop my mothers account from showing up on my account?

I made an apple ID but every time I tried to do anything on Apple on my phone my mother’s Apple ID comes up how do I get mine to come up instead of herbs?

When exactly is your mother's account showing up?


If it happens when you try to update an app for example it normally means that the App was download with her account and is forever tied to it. You would need to delete the App from your device and download it again using your account. Make sure you are using your account in Settings->Account(top of settings)->Media & Purchases->View Account. If not, sign out, and sign in with yours.
