Downloading Apps on my ipad

Whenever I try to download any app from the appstore, it shows me the my iTunes account has not yet signed in, or that this app is not compatible with my ipad.


I have reached one of the CS representatives and she told me that my ipad is outdated and asked me to reach the App developer to know if you have any compatible version off the Apps like Facebook, YouTube, Chrome, messenger, and so on.

You have indeed an outdated iPad, can’t be update to a higher iOS.

Your iPad no longer meets the requirements for many apps.

Yes, most apps require iOS 12 or later.        

For example:

WhatsApp requires iOS 12.0 or later.

YouTube requires iOS 12.0 or later and YouTube app requires iOS 14 or later.

Facebook requires iOS 13.4 or later.

Gmail app requires iOS 13.4 or later.

Netflix requires iOS 15.0 / iPadOS 15.0 or later.
