Hi lalitha131,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If we understand correctly, you signed into the wrong Apple ID account on your iPhone. You should be able to sign out by following these steps: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac.


"Sign out on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. Go to Settings, then tap your name. 
  2. Scroll down to the bottom.
  3. Tap Sign Out.
  4. Enter your Apple ID password and tap Turn Off. Forgot your Apple ID password
  5. Turn on the data that you want to keep a copy of on your device.
  6. Tap Sign Out.
  7. Tap Sign Out again to confirm that you want to sign out of iCloud."


Once you've signed out, you can sign in with the correct account. If that is not the issue, please provide more details and we'll do our best to assist.


Take care.
