Hi Sophie_hornby,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand you'd like to update apps without being prompted for an Apple ID that is not yours. We can help.


The way to resolve this is to delete any affected app and then download the app again (which would then use your Apple ID).


  1. Delete the app Remove apps from iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Install the desired app Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


That should help. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
