Hello, this is most likely due to the age of your iPad, to check it’s compatibility please refer to this website, Supported iPad models - Apple Support.

If your iPad is currently running, or cannot be updated beyond iOS 10.3.3/4, then have an iPad4.
Update support for iPad4 ended September 2017. The final iOS releases for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular). iPad4 cannot be updated to any later major version of iOS as it lacks the minimum hardware requirements needed to run more recent versions. The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is effectively obsolete.
Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store. Withdrawal of Apps supporting older models of iPad is making their utility and usefulness significantly more limited. Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.
If Apps that you need to use now have higher minimum iOS-version requirements (Netflix requires iOS12 or later) your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Even the entry-level iPad7 supports current iPadOS 13.x and soon to be released iPadOS14- and has hardware specifications and capabilities that will vastly outperform your old iPad4.
I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the limitations of your iPad4 and your available options.
Thanks for your reply. It is really helpful. I feel apple should provide support to even older devices, they have taken money for this.
Not giving support to old devices is like arm twisting to buy new one. It's sick.
Consider that your iPad4 is an 8 year old device - that received in-life support for 5 years. Update support finally ended 3 years ago when the 32-bit platform upon which is based could no longer be supported. All newer versions of iOS/iPadOS and all current Apps are designed to run on 64-bit hardware.
Technology moves-on. It is testament to the quality of Apple’s product that is even continues to function after 8 years - with a battery that still holds charge. Most other manufacturers abandon support after only two to three years.
