If your iPad is running iOS 10, you cannot. Google only supports iOS and iPadOS of 13.0 or newer for their apps.


If your iPad cannot update beyond iOS 10 then it must be a 4th gen iPad which cannot support any newer version of iOS.

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 The 32-bit platform upon which the iPad4 is based is obsolete.


Most App Developers have dropped support for 32-bit devices and iOS versions preceding iOS11/12/13 - and have withdrawn older versions of their Apps from the Apple App Store.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 Once compatible versions Apps are withdrawn, you’ll not be able (re)download or (re)install them. While many Apps, such as Google, continue to be updated by the respective App Developer, the updated Apps (now intended for 64-bit devices) will not be compatible with your iPad4.


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 that does support currently available Apps. Of current models, even the entry-level iPad9 supports current iPadOS 15 - and has hardware specifications and capabilities that vastly outperform your old iPad4.


I hope this information is helpful - if only in clearly stating the fundamental limitations of your iPad4 and your available options.

Use Someone Else's Computer:

Ask someone else (i.e. Family Member or Friend) if you may use their computer for this (with their permission, of course).
