I am still using my original 2010 iPad even though I have newer iPads.

It runs the same, but older versions of apps I use, now.

I can still even access my DropBox account, stream Netflix and Hulu and I have a smart stylus, that I use to draw with on both my original iPad and iPad 2, that uses/emits hi frequency sound, detected by the iPad's microphone, instead of Bluetooth .

So, I still get my use from this almost seven year old iPad!

Plus it is just more fun to look at and use as it uses the old 3 dimensional skeuomorphic icons.

Here's a screenshot of the current state of my 2010 iPad.

That iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

Click here and try following the instructions. If they're not applicable to an application and you don't already have an older version of it, no.

Whatsapp is not available for iPad directly.

For Facebook however:

You may be able to get compatible versions of Apps for the first gen through iTunes on your computer. Download the App you want a compatible version for on iTunes on your computer using the same Apple Id that the iPad has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPad, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.

Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
