I updated to new Apple ID account on my iPhone but few apps are still asking for old password

so, to make a long story short, i’ve removed an old Apple ID from my device about a day ago, and I’m signed into a new one one.


things seemed to have been going smoothly until after i opened the App Store —



the one mentioned above is the old iCloud address by the way.


so, what’s the fix? please tell me that there is one!

The apps you downloaded with the old Apple ID stay connected to that ID, which is the one you "bought" them with. To avoid this, you'd need to delete those apps and download them again using the new Apple ID.


If those apps contain data, I'd recommend backing up the iPhone, deleting the apps, downloading them with the new Apple ID and restoring the backup.
