Can’t find anything in my settings that would pull my wife’s applied instead of mine. She has iPhones but never uses my iPad.
iPad (6th generation)
Begin with signing-out from the App Store:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Media & Purchases > Sign Out
Next, force-restart your iPad:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
After restarting your iPad, sign-in to the App Store using your own AppleID account credentials:

It means the app(s) you're trying to update are tied to her Apple ID. You will need to delete the apps and re-download them with your ID.
When you first set up the iPad, did you restore from a backup of an iPhone, perhaps hers?

Thanks Lyssa but that’s the problem. Sure I can delete an app but when I try to re-add it, it will provide my wife’s Apple ID & ask for her password. I haven’t found a way to change it to mine, there’s no option anywhere to change it. In My Settings, it’s my info., my Apple ID. And no, my wife only got her first iPhone this year and I’ve had my iPad for years so there’s no backup to her phone. I have no idea why or how her Apple ID got tangled in on my device, she never uses it. So frustrating!!🤪
APPLE ID not applied! Auto-corrected every time in my original post.😠🙄
My iPad is set up with my applied but every time I go to the App Store or try to update an app, it provides my wife’s applied and asks for her password. How can I change it to mine? Nowhere in my settings is her info so I’m baffled.
