Verify that the Apple ID is yours at Settings > [name on top], and also at Settings > [name on top] > Media & Purchases.


One thing to note is that all the apps that were downloaded using her Apple ID, will not be available for you to update after you change the Apple ID to yours. You would need to delete her WhatsApp and then download the app using your Apple ID. The device is not able to manage apps using 2 different Apple ID's and you may need to decide which one you want to use with that device. Review this article about what to do when you give away a device, so the information is properly removed from the original Apple ID to avoid problems in the future.

Each Apple device is linked/associated with an Apple ID of the person who did the setup.


Your sister has to read -> this Apple article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Then she has to remove the iPhone from his account, see this Apple article:

Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support

 

Then you can sign in with your own Apple ID.
