How to find app associated with different Apple ID

So I keep getting a pop up on my iPhone saying to log into a different Apple ID (which I have no idea who it is). My only guess is that one of my friends installed an app under their Apple ID at some point. But now that app has an update, and I keep getting a notification to log in. I have no idea what app this may be though! How can I discover what apps are associated with my Apple ID and someone else's? Thanks guys.

Go to the App Store app and open that then tap on update bottom right. Select all at the top left. The apps that you see there with the cloud logo have been downloaded with the ID your are logged in with but have been deleted from the phone, the ones with open written beside them are installed on your phone downloaded with your ID. Any other apps on the screens on your phone would be the ones downloaded with the other ID

The closest I've come to generating a list of apps that are associated with a different Apple ID is to do a backup on the iPhone or iPad in iTunes. A warning pops-up at the end of the backup process listing the apps that iTunes was unable to backup because they were not associated with the current Apple ID. You can then delete those apps from your device, or whatever you would like to do with those apps.
