User level: Level 1 (4 points)App store wrong email address
Hi all. Somehow my App Store sign in has my son’s email address (iPhone 12). I need to update an app but it wants me to sign in as him but I don’t know his password. I’ve searched on here for advice and gone to my Apple ID, logged out of ‘Media & purchases, logged in as myself but the App Store is still demanding I sign in under my son’s account. Any bright ideas please?

His Apple Account is stored inside that application.
If the iPhone is yours, delete and redownload it.
If the iPhone is his, tell him to update it.

Thanks Niel. It’s my phone. I think he downloaded an app for me years ago and now it’s come back to bite me. Is it the App Store app I need to delete? If so how do I download it again without the App Store app?

No. It's the one you're trying to update.
