Upgrading/updating that iPad any farther will never, ever be possible.

If your iPad model has been stuck on iOS 10 for all of these past years, then it is possible you own an almost 9-year old, 2012 iPad 4th generation.

That iPad model cannot ever upgrade beyond iOS 10.3.3/10.3.4.

Your almost 9-year old, iPad 4th gen model is too old, now.

Sorry.

Apple ended support for all 8-10-year old iOS devices well over 4 years, ago, in 2016.

Third party app developers abandoned and stopped supporting these 8-10-year old iOS devices nearly 3 years, ago, in 2018.

There are, virtually, NO MORE third party apps available from the iOS App Store, any longer!

Third party compatible apps for such old devices are few and far between, now, in 2021.

This includes apps for both iOS 9 AND iOS 10 devices!

Simply put, a 4th gen iPad is too old and obsolete now.

Sorry, but this is the reality for ALL 8-10-year old AND OLDER iOS devices now. Especially now in 2021!

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 purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted Apple product/device retailers/resellers, some locally or from online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions.

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

I am sorry that you had to learn all of this, but this does not change any of the facts regarding these very old iOS devices.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

Foolish.

You'll have much worse luck with any Android devices as Google ONLY supports other manufacturers devices for 2-3 years, at the most!

You just have a very old iPad.

The internal hardware of that 9-year old iPad is underpowered and is incapable of supporting all of the new and more powerful features of iPadOS.

Third party app developers continued their supoort for your iPad 4th gen for another two years, for a total of 6 years of support!

You'll never, EVER see that length of device support from ANY Google Android device.

Never. That's a fact!.

If you purchase a current or newer, older iPad model, you will find the oldest iPad, currently supporting iPadOS 14, is, already, 7-years old and with the up and coming iPadOS 15, the oldest supported iPad will get another year of full support, from Apple, for a total of 8 years!

When Apple finally ends its support for these older, currently supported devices in the future,, third party app developers will continue supporting these devices for another two years, or so, for a total of 10 years!

Google Android device support is no where near this length of device support!

Do as you will.
