Whether you are able to update your iPad to a newer version of iOS/iPadOS will be dictated by your iPad model - and the currently installed version of iOS. You can find this information here:

Settings > General > About


Not sure which iPad you have? Identify your iPad model.


Here is a list of the highest version of iOS supported by the older models of iPad (for simplicity - “generations” are shortened to a number) that are restricted in their ability to be updated:


iPad1 - iOS 5.1.1

iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 - iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models), iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular)

iPad4 - iOS 10.3.3 (WiFi Only), iOS 10.3.4 (WiFi & Cellular)

iPad Air1, iPad mini2 and iPad mini3 - iOS 12.5.2.


Newer models, not appearing in this list, are all able to be updated to the current version, iPadOS 14.4.2.


If your iPad is capable of update, but you are experiencing difficulties, these support pages may be helpful:

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update - Apple Support

If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

iOS update and restore errors – Apple Support


If your iPad is relatively recent (i.e., can run recent versions of iOS/iPadOS) and cannot update Apps, this support page may be helpful with troubleshooting:

If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or other Apple device - Apple Support


If you want or need to access to Apps requiring a more recent versions of iOS than your computer can support, you will need to replace your iPad with a newer or current model that supports iPadOS14.

If your iPad cannot upgrade/update any farther to get the recent YouTube aop, then your iPad is too old.

You will need to access the YouTube Website from a Web browser and login to the YouTube Website using your YouTube login credentials.

Writing about Web browsers, if your iPad is really old, that old default iOS Safari Web browser is too old, not secure and not safe to use to access the Internet, any longer.

There are virtually NO MORE third party Web browsers left for very old iPads!

Available and more popular third party Web browser choices are pretty much GONE, now.

If you must use these old iPad models, here is what is left for still updated Web browsers.


Pickins’ are slim, now!


ALook Web browser ( A fairly new Web browser primarily designed for old iOS device versions, but is still available to newer iOS/iPadOS devices, as well )


Dolphin Web browser

Maxthon Web browser

TOR private browser

TOR + VPN private browser

Turbo VPN private browser



This is pretty much it for icompatible, third party Web browsers for old iPads, today.



Good Luck to You!

We cannot update YouTube for you, because A) we don’t have access to your iPad and B) your iPad is simply too old to run the newest version of the YouTube app. The only way for you to get the newest version of the YouTube app is to buy a newer iPad. The replies above have given instructions on how you can watch YouTube without the app.
