This new feature has been hidden among the other new features, but if you have multiple Apple ID accounts it will be great.
iOS 11.3 now lets you update apps that were installed with a different Apple ID
Many times developers first release their application in the North American market.
This is how they test its acceptance and decide whether or not to continue with the launch to other countries.
In addition, some applications are only found in one App Store of a specific region.
For these reasons, some users have 2 or more different Apple ID accounts. One for your country and another to install Apps that are not available in the selected region.
Until now it was a hassle to update all the applications you had downloaded. Why should you log out and log in again with the other ID.
What's new?
Before iOS 11.3 whenever an update arrived and the App did not belong to the primary ID, it would not update.
You had to sign out and sign back in with the secondary Apple ID. And update apps from different region.
That is, each application was related to the ID from which you downloaded the application. So until you logged in with the ID in question, the app couldn't update.
On the other hand, now it will be much easier. No need to sign out and sign in again with the other ID.
You will click on update and all the applications will do it.
If you have applications that belong to another ID, it will only ask you for the password of that ID in question and it will be updated.
What a time saver! I don't know how Apple has not given more importance to this novelty.
