Updated Apple ID, still shows old one on phone

I changed my apple ID, which works on my laptop and my new iPad, but it still shows the old one on my iPhone 7 plus. I tried the old password with it, didn't work. New password didn't work.


Old Apple ID is no longer recognized as valid on icloud.com or appleid.com--yet on my phone, both the icloud sign-in and the Apple ID sign-in will not let me input the new Apple ID no matter what I do. It demands the password for the old, invalid Apple ID email, with no option to enter in the new email. At a loss . . .Thanks for any help!




iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

Make sure the software is up to date on all devices involved.

Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

● If this is a service, try disabling it and turning it back on.

● Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

If you have more than one Apple ID, don't forget you may be signed into other accounts too for special services such as iMessage and Media & Purchases.

● Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support then choose your model.

iPad: Restart your iPad - Apple Support

Try using other equipment if possible. I have seen several cases where somebody tried to do something on one item of equipment and failed, but then tried on a different item of equipment and succeeded.


Sometimes it can take some time for changes to propagate through the system and waiting may help ( e.g., Family Sharing of Apple News+ - Apple Community ). If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:

If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
