A 7-year old iPad 3rd generation cannot upgrade/update beyond iOS 9.3.5.

Its internal hardware is too old underpowered and now incompatible with any current and future versions of iOS.


If you need/want to use tge latest iOS versions with the most up to date apps, it looks like it is time to purchase a new iPad from Apple or a discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple's Refurbished & Clearance section of Apple’s Website.


Best of Luck to You!
