i have update my iPad but I enter the AppStore to download some apps like Facebook but I cannot download them because it keeps telling me that I must update to iOS 11.0 in other for me to download the Facebook app, and some other apps use to tell me defferent version too and I have already updated my iPad.
iPad, iOS 10
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 The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete.
Many App Developers have also dropped support for older devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store.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 Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them.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, your only option is to replace your iPad with newer model. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad8 supports current iPadOS 14 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that 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.

If your iPad is stuck on iOS 10xx you probably have an iPad 4 (from 2012).
If that is the case you can't update any further.
Need iOS 11 (or higher)...... buy a new iPad.
Too old to be updated.
that means I cannot download those apps ? Is there no other way I can fix this?
So what should I do
There is no other way to fix it.
As I said earlier...... "Need iOS 11 (or higher)...... buy a new iPad."
I can't download some apps
