changing the name of Android phone to new iPhone to download apps

Just bought an iPhone 15. When I try to add an app to my iPhone, my choice comes up as downloading to my old Samsung Android. How to I change my device to my new iPhone?


iPhone 15, iOS 17

That simply doesn’t happen. An iPhone only has access to the Apple App Store (except in the EU). An iPhone can only run software designed for iOS. It cannot run software designed for Android. Your issue indicates you are not trying to download from the Apple App Store but someplace else.
