Yup.

Your iPad model is too old, now.


Sorry.

If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” , used iPad model capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.

There are plenty of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

It is what it is.

Your 2011 iPad 2 is a nearly 10-year old iPad ( April 2011 ).

Apple stopped supporting these 8-10 year old iPads over 4 years ago.

Third party iOS app developers stopped supporting these old 8-10 year old iPads running iOS 9 and 10 about 2 years ago.

There are virtually no more compatible, third party iOS app for over 8-10 year old iPad models, any longer.

These old iPad models are obsolete.


Sorry.
