Help me out !

My iPhone won’t let me update or download apps cause I “have the wrong password” yet I just changed it and was able to sign in fine. But when I go to update and enter password it says it’s wrong. And I know for sure I’m entering the right password. What do I do? Coz its getting really annoying

iPhone 12, iOS 16

If it is happening for new downloads it could be you have set your device to use a different Apple ID for media and downloads. Go to Settings > [your Apple ID] > Media & Purchases and check if this is the case.


If you see it only for updates, was a different account used to download those apps? If yes, delete the apps entireely and download them with you current account.
