I changed by email for my Apple ID but when I try to update APPS my phone is asking for my password using my old email. How can I change this?
You need to go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores and change the Apple ID there also. You need to sign out of the old one and sign in with the new one.
You can't. Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id.
Why use an out of date Apple ID email address as your ID of record on your phone if it is no longer valid? You will have to change it sooner or later.

As stated apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase or download it.
Razmee209 you need to read the question that has been posted above. Marine21 isn't trying to MERGE two Apple ID's, he has logged into the 'Manage my Apple ID' website and changed his PRIMARY email address on the existing account to another email address. If you click https://appleid.apple.comand log in you will see what he is attempting. Quit sitting on forums answering questions where you are misinformed, it just makes it harder to get a straight answer.
To answer your question Marine21, there is a very good chance that across your device you will have missed one of the login credential settings whereby it requires you to sign out and sign back in. For me, I ran into the issue with the 'Find My Friends' App. You could try restoring the device and then NOT restoring your backup file. Sync your data to the device separately once you have gone through the initial setup process. Alternatively, open your Settings app and make sure that the following sections have been signed out of.
See how that goes 🙂 Good luck!
YOu have no clue as to what you're talking about.
As already stated apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase or download the app.
That is why the OP is seeing his/her old apple id when trying to update an app, because that was the id used to purchase it.
Not sure why your responding to a 3 month old thread.
what you're saying is not working for me. When I enter my password, it says your apple id or password is incorrect.
didn't work for me

Settings > iTunes & App store.
Tap your AppleID, log out, then log back in with updated AppleID.

I changed my email for my Apple ID but my IPHONE is still asking me for a password using the old email when I try to update APPS.
