How to change PHP version on Ubuntu

I have installed PHP 7 on Ubuntu:

php -v
PHP 7.0.5-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

It appears that right version is loaded:

php -i | grep "Loaded Configuration File"
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

However phpinfo() still reports old version:

PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14

How do I change it? Thanks!

This is OS version:

 lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

I am trying to run latest Magento 2 from Git

I was wondering the same thing while working on different versions of Silverstripe...

Dhivin's answer was very close, but was missing out a couple of extra changes for PHP CLI. The lines that worked for me were:

From PHP 7.0 to 5.6

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php5.6

From PHP 5.6 to 7.0

sudo update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.0

Add the above lines to Dhivin's answer, and it should work for you :).

You can purge all php and install new

sudo aptitude purge dpkg -l | grep php| awk '{print $2}' |tr "\n" " "

or just disable unnecessary php module and enable php7
