Apps like YouTube are not working on my iPad Air 2 purchased in 2015

To Whom It May Concern


I purchased this IPad Air 2 in the year 2015 but for last few years Apps are not working properly like YouTube, Nine news Australia, when prompted to download older version of the App downloaded it but still not working. Any support is appreciated.

Your iPad Air2 can itself only be updated to iPadOS 15.4.x. This model does not support iPadOS 16 or later - at the time of writing, iPadOS 18.4.1 being the current version.


Many third-party App Developers support only the current and perhaps one or two earlier major versions of iOS/iPadOS. That said, the available YouTube App requires iPadOS 15.0 or later, and as such, should be compatible with your iPad if you have updated the iPad to its most recent supported version of iPadOS.


If specific Apps that remain compatible with your older model iPad are not functioning as expected, try deleting and reinstalling the App. If the problem persists, you'll need to seek assistance from the relevant App Developer:
