I can’t update my apps

I have an Apple ID but I used someone’s ID to download some apps when I bought the phone. I have set everything up, when I want to update my apps, it requests for the previous ID and not mine. Where and how do I change that ID to mine?

Updating Apps form different Apple ID When you have downloaded an App from the App Store in an Apple ID, and you completely change Apple IDs on your iPhone or ipad, why do you need to sign in again to the original Apple ID when updating that app?

Wrong Apple ID App Store I upgraded to an iPhone 14 and my apps show as downloadable but didn’t download (cloud with arrow down). When I click on the app it asks me to sign in to an Apple ID I no longer use and likely used to download the apps in the first place on my old phone; it does not give me the option to use a different Apple ID. I believe it’s not letting me move forward because the apps belong that that old Apple ID. Is there a solution outside of deleting every app and redownloading?

Delete the apps and buy and download them on your account.
