Update 3rd gen iPad IOS

My 3rd gen ipad is at ios 9.3.5 and when I check for updates it says no updates available.

According to iOS 12 - Apple

the 3rd gen is compatible with IOS 12

so how can I update this ios 12 if it says its up to date? Also hooking it to a computer and using itunes to update, it also says it is up to date.

I don't see 3rd gen iPad on the snapshot. The 12.9 inch iPad Pro 3rd gen and the Mini 3rd gen are compatible but not the original 3rd gen iPad. If yours is the original 3rd gen iPad, iOS 9 is the latest compatible version.
