Yes and no.


First - “Built In” apps are automatically updated along w/ your iOS.


There is not a way to MOVE AppStore apps from one AppleID to another.


The seemingly “random” pop-ups are likely caused by AppStore apps “checking-in” for their own “updates.”


It IS possible to “Change Your Apple ID” which DOES convey the changes to the AppStore apps …

… but from your post it sounds like you perhaps simply started using a “different” AppleID.


If this is a mischaracterization of what occurred, please apprise.
