unable to update already installed apps

my iphone 14 does not let me update already installed apps because the login email is different from the iphone id by one digit, if it is a new app I want to add or download it does. Can't change the app store email

Hello 70Zurd0,


You'll have to delete those apps that won't update as they are linked to the wrong Apple Account. Download them anew using the correct Apple Account and you won't have any further problem.


You may want to backup your iPhone before deleting the apps. This way, after deleting the apps and reinstalling them, you'll be able to recover their data (if any) from the backup).
