Apple ID issue

My mother’s Apple ID some how keeps connected to my phone. I’ve already deleted it off of my phone but… when I have to update some apps it and asks for my password. I put in the correct password and it no matter what says it’s wrong. I haven't been able to update them because of this.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

If the apps were purchased with her Apple ID they will require that ID in order to update. You should delete them from your phone and download them with your ID. Alternatively, one of you can set up Family Sharing so she can share her apps if the app allows it.


Look into using Family Sharing to continue to be able to use items purchased with one Apple ID with other Apple IDs.
