    Hi there, sw292!


    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. In your post, you state that you changed your Apple ID from your computer, but do not see the change reflected on your iPhone. Since your Apple ID is used for all of Apple's services, from the iTunes and App Store and iCloud to FaceTime and iMessage, I know it's important to ensure that your iPhone has the updated Apple ID. I'm happy to help!

     

    When you change your Apple ID, it does not automatically update across all your devices. So now that it's changed, you must sign out of your old Apple ID on your iPhone, then into the new one. The article linked below will walk you through that process, and help make sure you don't miss any services. Once you've signed into the new Apple ID, you'll be able to update your apps and access your iCloud and iTunes Store accounts.

    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password

     

    Cheers!
