And it won't. The original iPad Mini is locked at iOS 9.3.5. It is too under powered to work with the 64 bit architecture required for the newer iOS levels. If you need the newer iOS levels, you need a newer iPad.

IF you had these apps on this iPad previously, try redownloading them by going into the iOS App Store app and in the lower menu options, tap the Purchased menu option and look for these apps in the listings or use the Purchased app search bar to find specific apps and tap the download “cloud” icon next to the app name to see if these apps will redownloading to your iPad.



Best of Luck to You!
