“Considering the budget, I got a second-hand iPhone 8 online. However, I found that the original Apple ID is still associated with the iPhone so that I cannot update apps on the app store. How do I get rid of someone else’s Apple ID that is not mine?”

Yes, when you update the app and it asks for the password for the previous Apple ID account, there must be an App that is downloaded with that person’s Apple ID. And it is obvious that the person does not remove all apps and data from your iPhone.  In this situation, you are not in full control of the iPhone. What you need to do is remove the Apple ID from the iPhone without the previous owner’s password. You can try the method below.
