Your iPad cannot be updated beyond iOS 9.3.5. It is a 32 bit device and the new iOS requires 64 bit architecture.


You can try the suggestions in this link from forum user MichelPM to see if the app developer still supports their app for iOS 9.3.5. If none of these work, it means the app can't be used on your device. If you need this app, it's time to upgrade your iPad to a modern device.

The last available version if iOS for the iPad mini (32-bit Apple A5 processor) was iOS 9.3.5. This is a far as it can be upgraded.


Newer versions of iOS are only available for devices with 64-bit Apple A7 or later processors.


If the App that you want to install is only available for iOS10 or later, then it will require a newer 64-bit device.
