The purchases that you make through iTunes and the App Store on your iPhone are done with the help of an iTunes account, or Apple ID.
This account has a payment method associated with it, and provides access to apps, music, movies, and other purchases that you have made using that account.
So if you discover that you are signed into the wrong account, then you might be looking for a way to switch iTunes accounts on your iPhone 7.
Our guide below will show you where to find the iTunes account sign-in screen on the device so that you can sign out of the current account, then sign in with a different one.
This can be helpful if you currently share an Apple ID with another person, and are finding that apps and files that they purchase are appearing on your device.
