Go to Settings/iTunes & AppStore, tap the Apple ID at the top, and then tap Sign Out. Tap it again and sign in with the desired Apple ID.

You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.

Hi,

In order to be signed in with the same Apple ID for your iCloud Settings and Media & Purchases, on your device, go to Settings > Name > Media & Purchases > Sign Out.

Then, Settings >.Name > Media & Purchases > tap Continue.

You will then be signed in to your device with the same Apple ID.

Hope this helps.
