iOS software upgrade on 3rd Generation iPad

How can I upgrade the iOS software of a 3rd generation iPad? Right now, the iOS version is 9.3.5, but the Safari browser is not up to date enough for a web application that I would like to use. I want to update my Safari, so want to update my iOS, but when I go to Settings -> General -> Software Update, there is no update available.


Any help is appreciated!


Thank you!

You can't update iPad 3 past iOS 9.3.5. You can try a difference web browser, which may let you use the site you want. Try these out to see if they work for your need, but if they don't, then it's time for a more modern iPad:


iCab Mobile Web browser

Dolphin Web browser

Snow Bunny Web browser

Private Browsing Web browser

Aloha Web browser

Maxthon Web browser
