my apple id on my phone isn't highlighted; can't access apple id info on phone

I am not able to install or update apps. When I go to settings and try to access my apple id, it is grayed out and therefore, does not respond to my touch. I can't access it.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

You may need a payment method in your Apple ID account for the first time you use the App Store or iTunes.

(This is required even if you only download free apps.)
