I can’t load Netflix in my ipad
iPad, iOS 9
iPad, iOS 9
Despite what everyone keeps posting on this Netflix issue, Netflix has older versions of their app that go all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.
There is one last thing you can try/attempt, if you need older versions of apps, such as an older version of Netflix.
If you own another much newer iOS device that can run iOS/iPadOS 13 and later, you can install the most recent version app/s onto that more recent iOS device.
Then go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store, go to the Purchases section of the store app, search for the app/s you wish to try and download to that older iPad and see if an older version of the app is allowed to be downloaded/installed to
that older iPad.
These newer iOS/iPadOS devices must use your same Apple ID user account and password.
Failing that OR IF NO joy, then there is nothing more to be done.
It's 2021, now.
If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updatedapps, 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 sources, like other 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 newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS.
Best of Luck to You!

Here is a screenshot showing how the "last thing" method MichelPM mentions appears on an old iPad.
I was recently able to restore Amazon Prime to an iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5, You must tap the cloud icon. Tapping the App icon produced the same error message you posted. If an older version is available, it will show this:
It is easy enough to check.
Netflix requires iPadOS 13.0 or newer, which might not be compatible with your iPad. In order to install Netflix, you'll need to upgrade your device.
Netflix required iOS/iPadOS 13 or later. The tags appended to your post suggest that you have an iPad2, iPad3 or iPad mini1.
Not sure which iPad you have? Identify your iPad model.
iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 can only be updated to iOS 9.3.5 (WiFi Only models) or iOS 9.3.6 (WiFi & Cellular models).
Apple ended update support for these models in September 2016. Your iPad cannot be updated to iOS 10 or later major versions of iOS, as the internal hardware does not meet the minimum technical requirements for new versions of iOS/iPadOS. This limitation cannot be bypassed; these are 32-bit architecture devices, whilst all recent versions of iOS/iPadOS are designed for 64-bit hardware platforms. iPad2, iPad3 and iPad mini1 are obsolete.
You need to consider that compatible Apps for your iPad are increasingly difficult to find - as third-party developers are increasingly dropping support for 32-bot devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13. As older versions of Apps are removed from the Apple App Store, you’ll not be able to (re)download or install them - which may severely limit the usefulness and utility of your iPad. As such, if you want or need to access most current Apps, requiring more recent versions of iOS, you’ll need to consider replacement of your iPad with a newer or current model.
Of current models, even the entry-level iPad8 has specifications and capabilities that will massively outperform you current iPad - and is compatible with the vast majority of current Apps. Other models are more powerful still.
I hope this information provides helpful and succinct clarity as to your available options - and the limitations of your current iPad.
