Hey there KristinGrundler,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.


To get started, this issue would be expected behavior if the apps were originally downloaded using your daughters Apple ID. To update the apps, you can either enter your daughter's Apple ID password, or you can remove and redownload the apps so they are linked to your Apple ID.


If you decide to remove and redownload the apps, check out the resources below that can help if needed:



If you and your daughter would like to share apps purchased from the App Store, you can do that by setting up a Family Sharing group. Check out this link for more details: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, subscriptions including iCloud+, and more, all without sharing an Apple ID.1 You can set up an Apple ID for kids, set permissions remotely with Screen Time, and approve spending and downloads from a parent's device with Ask to Buy.2 You can also set up Apple Cash for a child or teen, or set them up with an Apple Watch.


We hope that's able to help.


Have a great day!
